Hayes closed with 19 points (8-9 FG, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds, one block and five steals in 33 minutes during Sunday's 127-117 loss to Minnesota.
Hayes filled in nicely after Anthony Davis (eye) headed to the locker room. Hayes' 19 points marked a season-high total as well as his second consecutive double-double. Although he only averages 12.4 minutes per game, Hayes has appeared in 67 games for the Lakers and should be on the team's postseason roster.
