Hayes

Hayes has missed the Lakers’ last two games with a sore left ankle. He participated in Monday’s practice and has been cleared to play against the Pistons. Hayes will assume his usual duties as Deandre Ayton’s backup, which is not a good place to find fantasy value.

Hayes has missed the Lakers’ last two games with a sore left ankle. His return to practice on Monday makes it possible that he’ll be able to play in Tuesday’s game against the Pistons. While Hayes’ status does not affect fantasy basketball, his return would give the Lakers another post player to counter Detroit’s Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart.

This will officially be a second straight absence for Hayes after he was initially listed as doubtful. Jarred Vanderbilt should fill out the backup center minutes behind Deandre Ayton, though that won’t make him worth streaming.

Hayes is on track to miss a second consecutive game with an ankle injury. His absence frees up minutes behind Deandre Ayton, with Jarred Vanderbilt being the most likely beneficiary. There’s no need to stream Vanderbilt.

Hayes will miss Thursday’s game with a sore left ankle. The good news for the Lakers is that Deandre Ayton (elbow) is back, so he’ll play most of the available minutes at the center position. Hayes’ absence likely means that Jarred Vanderbilt will spend some time at center when Ayton sits.

Ayton has missed two straight games, but it appears he’s on the right track to return on Tuesday. If Ayton is available, Jaxson Hayes and Jarred Vanderbilt could see their roles reduced.

Ayton will miss a second straight game with a sore right elbow. While Jaxson Hayes started Thursday’s win over the Jazz, he only played 22 minutes, with Jarred Vanderbilt logging 25 off the bench. With the Clippers having Ivica Zubac in their starting lineup, Hayes may pick up a few more minutes on Saturday.

No surprise here, as Kleber was listed as probable on Wednesday. Deandre Ayton (elbow) has been ruled out, but Jaxson Hayes and Jarred Vanderbilt will be the most likely beneficiaries from a fantasy standpoint. Kleber could see some run off the bench, but it likely won’t amount to much production for fantasy managers.

Ayton is dealing with a sore right elbow, forcing his absence for Thursday’s game. Jaxson Hayes has been the replacement in the past, and that should be the case against the Jazz. He’s only worth a look in deep leagues where there’s a need for blocks and a high field-goal percentage.

Despite banging knees during the fourth quarter of Sunday’s win over the Pelicans, Ayton is good to go for Sunday’s matchup with the franchise that selected him first overall in the 2018 draft. As a result, Jaxson Hayes will miss out on an opportunity to start and become a deep-league streaming option.
