Hayes is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Spurs.
Jaren Jackson (knee) is set to sit out at least the next six weeks, and with Jusuf Nurkic (foot) still not close, Hayes appears to be locked in as Utah's starting center. He's gotten off to a hot start this season with averages of 10.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.3 swats per contest, so make sure Hayes isn't floating around on your waiver wire.
