Ayres won't take the floor Thursday against the Heat due to a sprained second metacarpal phalangeal joint in his right hand.

Analysis:

Ayres is typically handed double-digit minutes on a nightly basis, but in the last three games, he's earned a combined 12 minutes, with one DNP-CD on the ledger. During that span, he's recorded no points (0-1 FG), four rebounds, one block, and one assist, which isn't exactly helpful in most formats, but the current injury concern ensures his status as a fantasy non-entity.
