Hayes (ankle) was a limited participant during Friday's practice, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Hayes has missed the Lakers' last 13 outings due to a right ankle sprain, though he was able to go through non-contact portions of Friday's practice. There is no clear timetable for the big man's return, and he can be considered questionable at best for Saturday's game against the Kings until the Lakers provide an update on his status.

Davis (ankle) didn't participate in Friday's practice and is currently listed as questionable for Saturday's game in Los Angeles against the Kings, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Davis went down with an ankle sprain in the win over the Warriors on Christmas Day, which resulted in him playing only seven minutes against Golden State. However, the sprain might not be as bad as initially thought, as he could play Saturday when the team faces the Kings for a fourth and final time during the regular season. If Davis misses the matchup against Sacramento, coach JJ Redick may have to turn to Christian Koloko more off the bench and rookie standout Dalton Knecht, who both got a bump in minutes against the Warriors.

Huff (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against New Orleans.

Huff is in jeopardy of missing his fifth consecutive outing due to a sprained left ankle. If the 27-year-old joins Santi Aldama (ankle), Vince Williams (ankle) and GG Jackson (foot) on the sideline, Jake LaRavia and Brandon Clarke should continue to receive a slight uptick in playing time off the bench

Richards contributed six points (2-5 FG, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and one assist in 16 minutes during Thursday's 113-110 loss to Washington.

With Mark Williams back in the starting lineup, Richards has received a reduced role as Charlotte's backup center. Across Richards' six appearances coming off the bench, he is averaging 8.8 points and 5.3 rebounds in 17.0 minutes.

Eubanks amassed 15 points (6-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one block over 18 minutes during Thursday's 122-120 loss to the Trail Blazers.

With John Collins (hip) sidelined for a second consecutive outing, Eubanks notched his highest mark in playing time since Nov. 21. The big man also posted a season-high 15 points while leading Utah's bench in scoring. Over his last five outings, Eubanks has averaged 7.2 points and 4.0 rebounds across 13.4 minutes per contest.

Adebayo ended with four points (2-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, five assists and five blocks over 35 minutes during Thursday's 89-88 victory over Orlando.

Adebayo recorded his lowest point total of the season, though he did rack up a season-high mark in blocks. The big man has scored in double digits in nine of his last 10 appearances, during which he has averaged 17.4 points, 9.9 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 0.9 blocks and 0.8 steals in 34.0 minutes per contest.

Sarr contributed 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal across 25 minutes during Thursday's 113-110 win over the Hornets.

Sarr endured a slow start to the season, but he's been turning things around in recent weeks. The rookie Frenchman has scored in double digits in seven games in a row, his longest streak of the campaign, and he's trending in the right direction now that he seems to be adjusting better to the game stateside.

Lopez logged 20 points (8-12 FG, 4-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals across 34 minutes during Thursday's 111-105 loss to Brooklyn.

Lopez was remarkably efficient as a scoring option, going 4-for-5 from deep and missing just four of his 12 shots en route to his second consecutive outing with at least 20 points, and his fifth straight game with double-digit points. As good as he was offensively, the veteran big man found a way to make an impact on both ends of the court and managed to record at least two tallies in each of the six major categories. During that five-game stretch, Lopez is averaging 16.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.4 steals and 1.2 blocks per contest.

Claxton notched 13 points (5-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Thursday's 111-105 victory over Milwaukee.

Claxton was three rebounds shy of recording a double-double, and the big man found a way to remain relevant in fantasy thanks to a strong all-around effort. He hasn't recorded a double-double since Dec. 8, but he's scored in double digits in five of his last nine contests. He's averaging 11.1 points per contest in that span.

Edey closed with 21 points (9-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 27 minutes during Thursday's 155-126 victory over Toronto.

Edey pulled down a career-high 16 rebounds Thursday and co-led the Grizzlies in scoring with Jaren Jackson. It was Edey's fourth double-double of the season, and the rookie out of Purdue is averaging 11.1 points on 59.5 percent shooting, 7.9 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.1 blocks over 21.6 minutes per game.
