Records massive 25/20 double-double Ayton logged 25 points (9-22 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 20 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 42 minutes during Monday's 121-119 overtime win over the Suns.

Impact The Trail Blazers took a second straight game away from the Suns as Ayton throttled his former team. Now at full health, Portland is feeling the groove with eight wins over its past nine games, and Ayton's four double-doubles have been a key part of the effort. Their only loss over the span came against the Thunder during an Ayton absence, and they only lost by 10 points to the Western Conference frontrunners.

Torches nets in efficient outing Ayton notched 24 points (11-12 FG, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block over 33 minutes during Saturday's 127-108 victory over the Suns.

Impact Ayton posted 20-plus points for the fourth game in a row while finishing as the club's leading scorer, shooting a near-perfect 11-for-12 from the field. The big man continues to fill the stat sheet, though his availability has been a glaring issue of late, as he has missed five of Portland's last 12 outings. In three appearances following a three-game absence due to a left knee sprain, Ayton has averaged 22.3 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.7 blocks in 34.0 minutes per contest.

Outstanding at both ends Ayton provided 22 points (10-12 FG, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and three steals over 35 minutes during Thursday's 119-90 victory over the Magic.

Impact Ayton was only two boards away from recording a double-double, but the veteran big man also made his presence in other areas. The scoring touch was efficient as well, as he missed just two of his 12 attempts en route to his third straight game with at least 20 points. The availability issues remain a problem, as Ayton has missed five games since the beginning of January, but he's finding ways to produce. He's averaging 13.4 points, 10.4 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game across 11 January appearances.

No limitations in return Ayton (knee) tallied 21 points (9-19 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 34 minutes in Tuesday's 125-112 win over the Bucks.

Impact Ayton operated without any restrictions in his return from a three-game absence due to a left knee sprain, as he exceeded his season-long average in minutes (30.1 per game) while claiming his third consecutive double-double and making contributions in both of the defensive categories. With the 18-29 Trail Blazers being well removed from playoff contention, Ayton could find himself at risk of being held out due to minor injuries in the second half of the season. When available, however, he should make for a strong source of rebounds and efficient scoring.

Set to play against Milwaukee Ayton (knee) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Bucks, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.

Impact Ayton has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday after missing Portland's previous three outings due to a sprained left knee. The 26-year-old big man will likely reclaim his starting spot from Donovan Clingan. Ayton is averaging 11.6 points, 9.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 28.7 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Iffy for Tuesday Ayton (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Ayton is in jeopardy of missing a fourth straight game Tuesday due to a left knee strain. If the star big man cannot suit up for the Trail Blazers against Milwaukee, the lion's share of the center minutes should be divvied up among rookie first-rounder Donovan Clingan and veteran Robert Williams in Portland's rotation.

Impact Ayton is coming off one of his best performances of the season for the Trail Blazers, posting a double-double in Tuesday's win against the Heat. However, he got hurt on his way to 22 points and 15 rebounds, which puts his status in doubt against Orlando. If Ayton can't play Thursday, Robert Williams could see more time on the floor.

Steps up in win Ayton supplied 22 points (11-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 15 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 116-107 victory over the Heat.

Impact This was a tough defensive matchup for Ayton with Miami starting Kel'el Ware next to Bam Adebayo, but he responded with one of his best performances of the campaign. Ayton has had a lackluster January overall, but he's trending up in his last three outings with averages of 17.0 points, 11.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.7 blocks on 59.5 percent shooting from the field.

Impact Ayton was one of the top performers for the Blazers in this solid win over the Bulls, and the veteran was able to make his presence felt on both ends of the court. Even though he's missed two of his last five contests, Ayton has often been a regular when available. He's averaging 10.3 points, 9.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.9 blocks per game over his last 10 contests.

Suiting up vs. Chicago Ayton (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Bulls, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.

Ayton is averaging 9.6 points, 9.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game across seven contests since the beginning of January.
