Jaxson Hayes News, Rumors, Updates - Los Angeles Lakers

Shifts back to bench Hayes will come off the bench Thursday against the Heat.

Impact Hayes started four of the past five games and averaged 16.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.6 blocks during that stretch, but he'll move to the bench with CJ McCollum starting in his debut for the Pelicans. Hayes should still be the top frontcourt option off the bench for New Orleans.

Strong performances continue Hayes ended with 14 points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 110-97 victory over the Rockets.

Impact Earlier in the season, it seemed like the Pelicans weren't going to feature Hayes much at all, but he's found his stride lately and has even been playing next to Jonas Valanciunas. That said, Hayes will presumably shift back to the bench once CJ McCollum (recently traded) is available, so fantasy managers should be wary regarding Hayes' upside.

Starting Tuesday Hayes will start Tuesday's game against the Rockets.

Impact With Josh Hart (traded) gone, Hayes will get the nod until CJ McCollum is ready to debut. In Hayes' previous three starts this season, he's averaged 15.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.7 blocks and 1.0 assists in 30.0 minutes.

Puts up 21 points off bench Hayes notched 21 points (8-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, two blocks and two steals in 28 minutes during Sunday's 120-107 win over the Rockets.

Impact Hayes was coming off three straight starts, and while he shifted back to the bench, he continued to produce. He's now scored at least 19 points in three of his last four contests and is going through his best stretch of the campaign. The third-year big man has also scored in double digits in six of his last eight games while logging 23.8 minutes per tilt in that span.

Shifting back to bench Hayes will return to the bench for Sunday's game against Houston, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.

Impact After starting the last three games, Hayes will head back to the bench as the Pelicans have both Josh Hart (knee) and Brandon Ingram back healthy. Hayes showed plenty of encouraging flashes during that three-game run, which he capped off with 22 points, 11 rebounds, one block and one steal Friday night in Denver. If the Pelicans fall out of playoff contention and turn to more of a youth-oriented rotation, the 2019 lottery pick will be a name to monitor closely.

Perfect night Friday Hayes finished with 22 points (9-9 FG, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Friday's 113-105 win over Denver.

Impact Hayes remained in the starting lineup Friday, walking away with his best performance of the season. He was perfect from both the floor and the stripe, something that is obviously not sustainable moving forward. However, what might be sustainable is his current playing time. Over the past three games, he is averaging 30 minutes per night, enough to warrant taking a flier on him in standard leagues.

Excellent in start Hayes contributed 19 points (9-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt), seven rebounds and three blocks over 31 minutes during Monday's 93-90 loss to Cleveland.

Impact Starting his first game of the season, Hayes was an efficient, two-way force, leading Pelicans starters with a plus-two in the box score. While it's unlikely that the starting combo of Hayes and Valanciunas is used often, a bump in Hayes' playing time is realistic as New Orleans falls deeper out of the playoff picture.

Starting alongside Valanciunas Hayes will start Monday's game against the Cavs, Pelicans studio host Daniel Sallerson reports.

Impact In the midst of a three-game losing streak, the Pelicans will mix things up and go with both Hayes and Jonas Valanciunas in the frontcourt for the first time this season to combat the Cavs' duo of Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. It'll mark Hayes' first start of the season. Over his last nine games, he's averaged 10.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 0.7 blocks in 17.3 minutes.

Leads bench in loss Hayes had 15 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 117-107 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Hayes had a larger role off the bench Tuesday with Jonas Valanciunas (rest) sitting out, but it was Willy Hernangomez that received the start and served as New Orleans' primary center. Hayes has 29 points (12-for-20 FG, 5-7 FT) and 12 rebounds in 39 minutes across the past two games and should continue to operate as the reserve center.

Posts big line in just 17 minutes Hayes registered 14 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and two steals across 17 minutes during Monday's 117-113 victory over the Pacers.

Impact Hayes was a force during his brief time on the court, finishing with his highest point and rebound total since Jan. 1. The New Year's Day contest is the last time Hayes has logged more than 20 minutes in a game, which has kept him from getting much traction in real life or in fantasy. Despite his backup role, Hayes has produced double-digit points in four of his past six contests.
