Hayes (knee) accumulated 19 points (8-10 FG, 3-7 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 107-96 win over Phoenix.
After missing the Lakers' previous four games due to a right knee contusion, Hayes took back his spot in the starting five and saw seemingly operating with no restrictions. Though he struggled from the free-throw line, Hayes' elite efficiency in the paint helped him match his season-best total in scoring, which he supplemented with a pair of defensive counters. Hayes will likely lose out on some touches once the Lakers are back to full strength, but he could see a slight boost in fantasy value in the short term until the team gets LeBron James (groin) and Rui Hachimura (knee) back from injury.

Rotowire
Hayes (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bucks, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
Thursday will be the third game in a row that Hayes will miss due to a right knee contusion. It's unclear whether he'll be available for the second leg of the Lakers' back-to-back set Friday against the Nuggets. Alex Len started at center against the Nets on Tuesday and figures to continue doing so until Hayes is cleared to return.

Rotowire

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Downgraded to doubtful
Rotowire
Hayes (knee) has been listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Celtics, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
Hayes has played well since the arrival of Luka Doncic (calf), becoming a strong contributor in the Lakers' frontcourt. However, the team will likely have to pivot Saturday to another option to patrol the paint, with Trey Jemison, Alex Len and Dorian Finney-Smith potentially needing to pick up the slack.

Hayes recorded his second double-double of the season and continues to trend in the right direction in fantasy. Over his last eight games, Hayes has produced 8.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 0.5 steals and 1.1 blocks in 24.7 minutes, making him worth a look in deeper formats.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Green light to play Friday
Rotowire
Hayes (hip) is available for Friday's game against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Hayes has been working through a left hip injury as of late, but the injury is not severe enough for him to be held out of Friday's contest. The 24-year-old center has averaged 7.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 blocks over 22.2 minutes per game over his last five outings.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Questionable Friday
Rotowire
Hayes (hip) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
Hayes suffered a left hip contusion during Thursday's win against the Timberwolves and now might be unable to play in the second game of a back-to-back Friday against the Clippers. The center has played well in his new role as a starter for the Lakers, but in the event he's ruled out, the team will likely pivot to Alex Len and Trey Jemison to shoulder the load in the paint, especially with Rui Hachimura (knee) not playing in this game.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Will be available Wednesday
Rotowire
Lakers head coach JJ Redick said that Hayes (face) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register.
Hayes made an early exit in the Lakers' most recent game Feb. 12 against the Jazz due to a facial contusion, but he looks to be good to go after getting some extended rest during the All-Star break. The center had started in each of the Lakers' last seven games before the break, averaging 8.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.1 steals in 22.1 minutes per contest.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Season highs in points and steals
Rotowire
Hayes chipped in 12 points (6-6 FG), two rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals over 23 minutes during Monday's 132-113 win over the Jazz.
Hayes showed how impactful he can be with new superstar teammate Luka Doncic during Monday's win against the Jazz. The 24-year-old big man went 6-for-6 from the floor for a season-high 12 points to go along with a season-high three steals, capping off an impressive outing against Utah.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: New season high in rebounds
Rotowire
Hayes contributed nine points (4-4 FG, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 29 minutes during Saturday's 124-117 win over the Pacers.
The dozen boards were a new season high for Hayes, who nearly came away with his second double-double of the campaign. The 24-year-old center has started five straight games for the Lakers, averaging 8.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.0 steals in 25.0 minutes a contest, and with the Mark Williams trade apparently falling through, he could remain in that role until the team finds another solution in the middle.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Grabs six boards in win
Rotowire
Hayes closed Tuesday's 122-97 win over the Clippers with six points (3-6 FG, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal in 24 minutes.
The Lakers' lack of frontcourt depth was perhaps the most inscrutable part of this week's blockbuster trade. Unless the Lakers make another move soon, it appears that Hayes will be their No. 1 option in the paint, and although the fifth-year pro has a lot of experience, his ability to hold down a full-time job is an open question. He's never averaged more than 20 minutes per game in a season and has started only 58 games since joining the league in 2019.

Rotowire

Rotowire
Hayes closed Tuesday's 118-104 loss to the 76ers with four points (1-1 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two blocks over 19 minutes.
Hayes didn't see a big uptick in minutes despite the fact that Anthony Davis left this game with an abdominal injury. Davis is expected to miss at least three games, so Hayes is someone to monitor in deeper leagues during the short term if he gets the starting nod Thursday against Washington.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Playing Sunday
Rotowire
Hayes (shoulder) is available for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports. He'll come off the bench since Anthony Davis (foot) is available and starting.
Hayes will add some much-needed depth in the frontcourt in this matchup, where he'll have to battle against the likes of Ivica Zubac and Mo Bamba. Hayes should see decent minutes in this game, though he's not expected to have a big impact in most fantasy formats due to his bench role.
