Deandre Ayton had 20 points and 10 rebounds in Game 1, going head-to-head with Nikola Jokic for much of his time on the court. Brandon Anderson of The Action Network envisions Ayton finding similar success in the scoring department during Game 2’s battle.
Ayton’s over/under for points sits at 15.5 (via PointsBet), which may not be enough of an adjustment from the 13.5 points oddsmakers had it at in Game 1.
The Suns have now played the Nuggets four times on the season and Ayton’s points total are as follows: 22, 27, 17, 20 (including Game 1). Past history suggests that the former No. 1 overall pick will surpass this total on Wednesday night.
