Jaxson Hayes Fantasy Stats

Jovan Buha of the Athletic reports that Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes (knee) will be available to suit up on Wednesday versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. Hayes had missed three consecutive contests due to a knee issue. The 25-year-old's return gives the Lakers some frontcourt depth as Maxi Kleber (oblique) is still out with a left oblique strain. However, with Deandre Ayton healthy, Hayes has little to no fantasy value going into this evening's matchup.

Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports that Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes (knee) will miss his third consecutive contest on Monday versus the Portland Trail Blazers. The 25-year-old big man has been out of action due to a sore knee and is considered day-to-day. Hayes could be back in action on Wednesday in Minnesota against the Timberwolves. However, with Deandre Ayton healthy, Hayes has little to no fantasy value. His absence may allow Jarred Vanderbilt to get some extra work on Monday, after he registered nine points, five rebounds, two assists and two steals across 27 minutes in Sunday's win over the Kings.

Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes (knee) will miss a second consecutive game on Sunday versus the Sacramento Kings. The big man was initially listed as questionable for the contest due to a sore knee. It doesn't appear to be a serious issue, so Hayes could be back in the lineup on Monday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. With Deandre Ayton healthy, Hayes has little to no fantasy value. His absence may allow Christian Koloko to get some extra work on Sunday, but he is not expected to make a significant impact against the Kings.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, free-agent center Jaxson Hayes agreed to a one-year deal to remain with the Lakers. The 25-year-old spent the last two seasons in Los Angeles, most recently averaging 6.8 points and 4.8 rebounds in 58 games during the 2024 campaign. The Lakers recently signed Deandre Ayton, who will take over the duties at the five spot. With that said, Hayes could get some action in the starting lineup if Ayton goes down with an injury. Still, with Luka Doncic, LeBron James, and Austin Reaves on the floor, Hayes likely won't have an opportunity to do anything meaningful for fantasy managers, regardless of his role.

According to Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com, Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes (knee) will be out against the Denver Nuggets on Friday. The 24-year-old will miss his fourth straight game in a row due to a bruised right knee. He's still dealing with swelling, so it's unknown when he will be healthy enough to return. However, his next chance to return is on Sunday against Phoenix. If Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) and/or Trey Jemison (illness) are also sidelined, Alex Len will likely see an uptick in minutes. Unfortunately, Len won't factor in fantasy even with the extra playing time during tonight's contest, as he's only registered a total of two points and seven rebounds in his last five outings.

Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes (knee) is out for Thursday's game against Milwaukee. The 24-year-old missed the last two games because of a bruised right knee. He's still dealing with swelling, so it's unknown if he'll be healthy enough to return when the Lakers play the Nuggets on Friday night. Alex Len got the start in Monday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets. However, Len only logged 13 minutes and finished with two rebounds, two assists, and one block. Jarred Vanderbilt and Trey Jemison III also got on the floor. Still, the duo combined for only nine points. With that in mind, Len, Vanderbilt, and Jemison may split time underneath the basket on Thursday, meaning they may not be worth starting in any fantasy format.

Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes (knee) won't play on Monday in Brooklyn. The Lakers won eight-straight games before suffering a loss to the Celtics on Saturday night. Not only that, but the team saw LeBron James (groin) go down, with the multi-time All-Star anticipated to miss at least a few weeks. Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) and Rui Hachimura (knee) are also out, and Luka Doncic (back) is questionable. But as far as the middle is concerned, Jarred Vanderbilt, who had four points, eight boards, and two steals versus Boston, will likely remain in the starting lineup. Vanderbilt isn't the most productive scorer on the planet. But he could get more involved if Doncic is ruled out.

Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes (hip) will be active on Friday against the Los Angeles Clippers. He has received a couple of upgrades throughout the day and has now officially been listed as available. On Thursday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Hayes put together one of his most productive performances of the season, finishing a 111-102 win with 10 points, seven rebounds, one block, and one steal. He will likely have a tougher evening on Friday against the Clippers, who have Ivica Zubac as a big presence under the rim.

Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes (face) is not on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The 24-year-old big man played only seven minutes in the previous game against the Utah Jazz, exiting the action with a facial contusion. However, he will not have to miss additional time because of the injury. Hayes has started seven consecutive games for the Lakers, averaging 8.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks over that span. With the Mark Williams trade rescinded, the Lakers will likely continue to roll with Hayes in the starting unit at the number five position.

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Jaxson Hayes will take Anthony Davis' (abdomen) starting position in Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. Davis has been ruled out for at least a week, meaning Hayes should receive multiple opportunities to start in the upcoming games. Hayes has averaged 6.0 points and 8.3 rebounds in 28.7 minutes in his previous three starts this season. The Wizards allow the most fantasy points in the league to centers, so Hayes should be more productive on Thursday if he receives enough playing time. Jarred Vanderbilt and Christian Koloko will provide backup at the center position.
