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.
