• Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Nearly double-doubles

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Hayes provided nine points (3-5 FG, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 28 minutes during Monday's 125-109 victory over San Antonio. Hayes continues to tighten his grip on the starting center job for the shorthanded Lakers. He's trending up over his last five outings, averaging 12.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks on 53.1 percent shooting from the field. In that span, he's returned 10th-round value in nine-category formats.

• Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Productive line in return

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Hayes (knee) accumulated 19 points (8-10 FG, 3-7 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 107-96 win over Phoenix. After missing the Lakers' previous four games due to a right knee contusion, Hayes took back his spot in the starting five and saw seemingly operating with no restrictions. Though he struggled from the free-throw line, Hayes' elite efficiency in the paint helped him match his season-best total in scoring, which he supplemented with a pair of defensive counters. Hayes will likely lose out on some touches once the Lakers are back to full strength, but he could see a slight boost in fantasy value in the short term until the team gets LeBron James (groin) and Rui Hachimura (knee) back from injury.
