Ayton is going to have his hands full with Jokic. He really struggled in their first meeting. Let's see how he adjusts.

Why did Ayton get taken out of the game so soon into the 3rd?

I'm glad I had other plans tonight...
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton
