Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Double-doubles in win
Ayton finished Tuesday's 111-103 victory over the Pelicans with 18 points (9-16 FG), 11 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 32 minutes.
Ayton has been a hit-or-miss fantasy asset lately, and it's been widely reported that he wants to be more involved in the offense. If Tuesday was any indication, coach JJ Redick is doing exactly that -- Ayton had 16 shot attempts in the win.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Efficient scoring continues
Ayton produced 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-6 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal in 34 minutes during Sunday's 120-114 win over the Grizzlies.
The star big man continues to roll along during his first year with the Lakers. Ayton has averaged 12.9 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.1 blocks and 0.9 steals in 29.7 minutes per contest over his last 14 games, shooting a robust 71.6 percent from the floor.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Posts double-double in victory
Ayton finished Sunday's 125-101 win over the Kings with 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 30 minutes.
Ayton found his way to his 12th double-double this season after posting only two rebounds against Houston earlier in the week. Coach JJ Redick didn't name names, but he had some harsh words for his team after the loss to Houston. Ayton might have been one of his targets, as the big man often shows a lack of hustle despite grabbing his share of rebounds.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Double-double in Tuesday's return
Ayton notched 12 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and three steals over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 132-108 loss to Phoenix.
Facing the team he spent the first five seasons of his NBA career with as he returned from a two-game absence due to a sore elbow, Ayton delivered his 11th double-double of the season. Seven of those have come in his last 13 contests dating back to Nov. 14, a stretch in which he's averaging 14.8 points, 10.2 boards, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks while shooting a stellar 75.0 percent from the floor.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Good to go for Tuesday
Ayton (elbow) is available for Tuesday's game against the Suns.
Ayton was a full participant in Monday's practice and is set for a return following a two-game absence. He had averaged a double-double in his previous five games before going down with the elbow injury, so his presence should provide a boost for LA with Luka Doncic (leg) and Rui Hachimura (groin) sidelined.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Goes through practice
Ayton (elbow) practiced in full Monday, ESPN's Dave McMenamin reports.
Ayton has missed the past two games for the Lakers, but the big man appears close to a return. More clarity can be expected once the Lakers release their injury report Monday evening, but for now, Ayton can be considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Suns.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Omitted from injury report

After leaving Sunday's win over the Pelicans due to right knee soreness, Ayton is good to go Monday and shouldn't have any restrictions. The star big man has averaged 16.0 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 29.5 minutes per tilt across 17 games this season.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Exits early Sunday
Ayton exited Sunday's game against the Pelicans and did not return due to right knee soreness, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Ayton appeared to be favoring his right knee, which is the same knee he has been experiencing discomfort in over the last week, before taking himself out of the game. The Lakers were sporting a comfortable lead, so it remains unclear if Ayton would have been able to return to the game had it been competitive. If he is forced to miss time, Jaxson Hayes figures to see an expanded role.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Will play vs. Dallas
Ayton (knee) will play in Friday's game against the Mavericks, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.
Ayton is returning from a one-game absence due to a knee issue. The star big man should have no limits on his playing time Friday. Ayton has averaged 16.0 points, 8.8 rebounds, 0.9 blocks and 0.9 steals in 27.8 minutes per game across his last nine appearances.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Probable to play Friday
Ayton (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Mavericks, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Ayton has missed the Lakers' last two games due to a right knee contusion. It appears the eighth-year center is on track to play Friday, and Ayton's return would likely send Jaxson Hayes back to the bench. Across nine games in November, Ayton has averaged 16.0 points on 74.7 percent shooting, 8.8 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.9 blocks and 0.9 steals over 27.8 minutes per game.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Won't play Tuesday
Ayton (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Ayton was forced out of Sunday's game due to a right knee contusion, and now he will miss Tuesday's contest. Additionally, it's not a great sign that he's getting ruled out 24 hours in advance of tipoff, but the good news is that after Tuesday's game, the Lakers are off until Friday, meaning Ayton will have four full days to rest up. Jaxson Hayes will likely get the start in his absence, and Maxi Kleber should be able to get into the rotation.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Questionable to return Sunday
Ayton is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jazz due to a right knee contusion, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.
Ayton presumably sustained the knee injury in the first half, during which he posted two points (1-2 FG), three rebounds and one steal in 13 minutes. Jaxson Hayes started the second half in place of Ayton, though Maxi Kleber could also see increased run the rest of the way if Ayton is unable to return.
