Deandre Ayton double-doubles with 4 blocks, Suns demolish Kings
Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton scored 18 points (9-of-14 field goals) with 11 rebounds, 1 steal, and 4 blocks in 33.4 minutes of a 124-95 win over the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday.
What It Means:
The blocks are a new career-high for last year's top overall pick. Ayton should provide plenty of double-doubles all season long. If he can also supply consistent blocks, then young big man is headed for a giant leap forward. The Suns visit the Denver Nuggets on Friday.
Ayton scored 46.2 FanDuel points on Wednesday. numberFire's models project him for 19.5 points, 11.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.2 blocks per contest over the rest of the season.
