Deandre Ayton Questionable Wednesday
9 months agoPortland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (elbow) is questionable for Wednesday's favorable matchup against Atlanta. A left elbow injury could keep Ayton out of the lineup for a fourth straight game. His health issues have benefited Duop Reath throughout the campaign, and the 27-year-old rookie has again put together a pair of strong performances lately as a member of the first unit. He's had 13.0 points and 5.8 rebounds in 27.2 minutes across the entire season in a starting role. The Hawks are currently missing Onyeka Okongwu (toe) from the lineup and have had a tough time against centers all season. Only three teams have given up more rebounds per 48 minutes to opposing fives, and the shooting percentage for centers has been at 59.4 percent against Atlanta.
