Analysis:
Ayres has garnered four starts this season, but his line in those outings -- 1.5 points (on 33.3 percent shooting) and 5.8 boards in 16.8 minutes per game -- isn't very inspiring. Expect the preceding to continue, as coach Gregg Popovich trots out a prototypical deep rotation, especially with Splitter out 3-to-5 weeks.
