Ayton logged 21 points (9-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 26 minutes during Sunday's 126-97 win over Denver.
Ayton faded down the stretch but still put up a strong effort despite failing to crack double-digit rebounds for the first time in his last seven appearances. The Suns will take no chances with Ayton, as they are incredibly thin at center. He recently missed five games with a leg injury, and although he's looked to be in typical form since returning, coach Monty Williams will likely keep looking to get him extra rest when games are well in hand.
