Ayton (back) is probable for Sunday's game against the Bulls, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.

Based on intel from NBA insider Brett Siegel, Deandre Ayton's time with the Trail Blazers could be running out.

In this new trade idea from Eddie Bitar of Fadeaway World, the Kings take a gamble and land a former first-overall draft pick. The deal would be between the Kings and Portland Trail Blazers, sending Deandre Ayton to Sacramento. Here is what the deal could look like:

Bulls: Zach LaVine (right patella tendon tendonitis) is probable. Talen Horton-Tucker (left knee sprain) and Lonzo Ball (right quadriceps contusion injury management) are questionable. Jevon Carter (illness) is doubtful. Torrey Craig (right calf contusion and right ankle sprain) and Chris Duarte (personal reasons) are out.

The Portland Trailblazers have lost five straight games. Their latest loss, a 125-103 defeat to the Houston Rockets on Saturday, saw few bright spots as Jalen

The Blazers (13-28) lost their fifth consecutive game and fell to 0-4 on their five-game home stand. The Rockets (28-13) remain second in the Western Conference. The Rockets claimed the season series 2-1. In late November, the Blazers lost 116-88 at the Rockets, then won 104-98 the following night.

The Portland Trail Blazers could be without their top guard and longest-tenured player, Anfernee Simons.  Simons is listed as questionable due to an elbow strai
