Deandre Ayton (rest) starting Game 1 for Phoenix on Sunday; JaVale McGee back to bench
Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton will start Sunday in the team's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
Ayton was held out of Sunday's regular season finale due to rest purposes. However, in Game 1 of the Western Conference Playoffs, he has received the green light to suit up. He'll immediately start in his return, and as a result, JaVale McGee will revert to a bench role.
Our models project Ayton for 17.8 points, 10.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 37.0 FanDuel points across 31.7 minutes of action.
