This game will truly be a big one for us, As well as being watched and measured heavily by NBA pundits and also critics. There'll obviously be many hot takes for this team's potential success depending upon Aytons' level of play too. So with respect to these considerations, What's your best guess as to Aytons' contribution in tonights game?

I will start with mine being:

27 points/ 14 rebounds/ 6 assists/ 3 blocks. That's my guesstimate!

35 pts 19 rebs 5 blocks 3 assists

18pts 11rbs 2 assists 1 block... And his first ever made 3pter

I think his minutes will be a little limited tonight.

40 points, 20 rebounds, 10 blocks, 10 assists, 3/3 from 3, and a stare down of Doncic fans

I would love he average that the entire season, it would be a nice gesture to the team after the sanction

15 and 8 boards, 2 blocks.

21 points 12 rebounds 2 blocks 1 assist

23/8/3/2blks

18 points
8 rebounds
1 block
2 turnovers

24 points
13 rebounds
3 assists
2 blocks
1 steal
2 turnovers

A lot of optimism around here so I am gonna give a pessimistic prediction.

It's possible that Ayton is too excited about his return and a bit rusty. We need to remember that players and teams are in mid season condition now and he is just gonna play his first game since October.

Then we need to take into account that we play against the Clippers and on the road. Worst rival available IMO. They have so many tough and strong players that can switch and defend well enough Ayton...players like Paul George, Leonard, Harkless, JaMychal Green, Patterson, Harrell and Zubak. It's not gonna be easy.

But a bad game tonight wouldn't mean much in the long run. Tonight is somewhat of an scheduled loss. I mean... I would prefer to watch a great game from him against the Thunder.

12 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block in 25 minutes.

I'll go 20-22min.

Harrell will eat him for lunch so can see some foul trouble and conditioning being a problem, which is natural after so long off the court.

12pts 7reb 1blk 3t/o

Anything above that and I'm happy

Oh yeah I could see Ayton come out too pumped and pressing a little. Probably a good idea to run some action to get him some good early looks. Let him settle in and just play.

Half the team is doubtful tonight. With George and Leonard on D, it's probably lockdown city for Oubre/Bridges. DA, Super Mario, and Spanish Wizard are going to feast.

DA: 26pt, 12 rb, 2 blocks, 5 turnover (too much excitement, 2 travels)

18pts
11rbs
2 assts
3 blks
4 tos
5 fouls
27 min

2 points, 2 rebounds, 5 fouls in 10 minutes or 28 points, 15 rebounds, 2 blocks in 30 minutes. Who knows...
