Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Chips in full stat line in win
Hayes accumulated six points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 101-94 win over the Rockets in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Hayes had missed the Lakers' final four contests of the regular season due to left foot soreness, but he's back to handling his typical role as the top backup center behind Deandre Ayton this postseason. As long as Ayton stays healthy, however, Hayes could have a hard time cracking the 20-minute plateau on a consistent basis.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Won't play Friday
Hayes (foot) is out for Friday's game against the Suns.
Friday is marking a third consecutive absence for Hayes, whose last chance to return during the regular season is Sunday against the Jazz. Jarred Vanderbilt effectively served as the Lakers' primary backup center while logging 26 minutes during Thursday's win in Golden State, so he figures to occupy that role once more Friday.

Hayes had 23 points (8-10 FG, 7-8 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes during Sunday's 134-128 loss to the Mavericks.
Despite coming off the bench, Hayes ended up playing 27 minutes, logging eight more minutes than Deandre Ayton's on Sunday. Hayes looks like a quality streaming option at center for the final week of the fantasy season, averaging 14.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.9 blocks and 0.9 steals in 24.2 minutes per tilt over his last seven games.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Five rejections off bench Friday
Hayes racked up 10 points (2-3 FG, 6-10 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and five blocks over 26 minutes off the bench during Friday's 116-99 win over the Nets.
The five swats were a season high for Hayes, but the 25-year-old center has been ruthless at the rim of late. He's recorded multiple rejections in five straight games (one start), averaging 11.2 points, 6.6 boards, 3.2 blocks, 0.8 assists and 0.8 steals in 24.2 minutes during that span while shooting 75.0 percent from the floor.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Won't start Friday
Hayes won't start Friday's game against the Nets, Ryan Ward of SI.com reports.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Productive in spot start
Hayes produced 21 points (9-11 FG, 3-6 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 137-130 victory over the Pacers.
Hayes moved into the starting lineup due to the absence of Deandre Ayton (back) and made the most of the opportunity with an efficient double-double and a loaded fantasy line. This was just the second time Hayes recorded multiple blocks and steals in the same game, and both have come in his last two appearances. Hayes is now on a run of four straight outings with multiple blocks and has scored in double digits in back-to-back games. Ayton remains the No. 1 option at center, but Hayes is proving he can deliver decent coverage when needed.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Starting Wednesday
Hayes is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Pacers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Hayes will get a spot-start with Deandre Ayton (back) unavailable, and it'll be Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, LeBron James and Jake LaRavia joining Hayes in the first unit for Wednesday's game. Through eight starts this season, Hayes has posted averages of 11.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals per game.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Swats three shots off bench
Hayes finished Saturday's 105-104 victory over the Magic with eight points (3-3 FG, 2-6 FT), seven rebounds and three blocks across 19 minutes.
Despite fairly lackluster play from Deandre Ayton overall recently, Hayes doesn't appear to be making a serious case for more playing time. Hayes has averaged 4.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.0 block in 16.7 minutes per contest in his last six games, shooting a weak 40.0 percent from the field during this span.

Hayes (back) is out for Thursday's game against the Bulls, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Out with back soreness
Hayes won't play Tuesday against the Timberwolves due to back soreness.
Hayes was a late addition to the injury report, so it appears the back issue flared up at some point during pre-game warmups. Maxi Kleber (back) is also out, so Drew Timme will be the favorite to get run as the backup center Tuesday evening.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Headed to bench
