Double-double against Pels
Ayton amassed 10 points (5-14 FG, 0-1 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 33 minutes during Friday's 105-103 loss to the Pelicans.
Analysis
The 26-year-old center has posted double-doubles in the first two games of the season, although he scored only 10 points in each. Ayton has averaged a double-double every year of his career, but he's never developed a three-point shot and rarely gets to the free-throw line, limiting his value both in the modern NBA and in most fantasy formats.

Records double-double in loss
Ayton had 10 points (5-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 139-104 loss to the Warriors.
Analysis
Ayton wasn't able to replicate his former success with the Suns last season, but he's playing with an inferior roster and has to make the best of a bad situation. If the team can stay healthy, the Trail Blazers' fortunes will be a little brighter, and better stat lines for Ayton would follow. Centers are always in high demand in fantasy leagues, so Ayton will still be a valuable target to consider despite his less-than-ideal circumstances.

Starting Wednesday
Ayton is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's season opener versus Golden State, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Analysis
Ayton gets the starting nod over rookie Donovan Clingan, and it'll be interesting to monitor each player's initial workload. Ayton is joined by Deni Avdija and Jerami Grant in Portland's starting frontcourt to begin the season.

Will play Wednesday
Ayton (rest) will play in Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Warriors, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
Analysis
As expected, Ayton will play in the regular-season opener after resting during the preseason finale. He made 55 regular-season appearances during his first season in Portland last year, averaging 16.7 points and 11.1 rebounds in 32.4 minutes per game.
