Ayton left the game against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday early with the injury, and then missed Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs.   

Therefore, this will be his second straight game out of the lineup. 

The Suns come into the game with the best record in the entire NBA and the top seed in the Western Conference. 

They are 34-9 in 43 games played on the season.
