When teammates sit
His minutes and fantasy points in real games without a teammate.
No teammate's absence has changed his minutes much yet (we need 5 or more games without them to say).
If he sits, who gains
Not enough games without him on this team to say yet.
Who gains when Deandre Ayton is out →
