Out Tuesday Hayes (illness) will not play Tuesday against Brooklyn.

Downgraded to questionable Hayes (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nets.

Impact Hayes was initially listed as probable but is now trending in the wrong direction and may miss a fourth straight game due to an illness. If that's the case, Jaden Ivey and Marcus Sasser should continue to see increased roles.

Probable for Tuesday Hayes (illness) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Nets.

Impact Hayes has missed three straight games, including a late scratch Saturday after initially being cleared to suit up. His expected return will likely mean fewer minutes for Jaden Ivey and Marcus Sasser, but Hayes may face some limitations after a lengthy absence.

DECEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

A late scratch Saturday Hayes (illness) is a late scratch for Saturday's game against the Nets, Johnny Kane of Bally Sports reports.

Impact Hayes was previously cleared to play after warmups, so this is unfortunate for the Pistons. With Hayes sitting out a third game in a row, Jaden Ivey's floor will be a little higher in fantasy basketball.

DECEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Saturday Hayes (illness) will play in Saturday's game against the Nets, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.

Impact No surprise here, as Hayes was previously considered probable. He missed the past two games for Detroit, but there's no word of any restrictions.

DECEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to return Saturday Hayes (illness) is listed as probable for Saturday's game versus the Nets.

Impact Hayes has missed Detroit's last two games with a non-COVID illness but is expected to return to action Saturday. Hayes will likely replace Jaden Ivey in the starting five if he's upgraded to available.

DECEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Thursday Hayes (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Hayes missed Monday's game against the Hawks and was initially considered probable for Thursday's matchup. However, he was downgraded to questionable in the hours leading up to tipoff and will be unable to suit up against Utah. Coach Monty Williams said Wednesday that Hayes isn't yet feeling 100 percent healthy, but his next chance to play will be Saturday against Brooklyn.

Downgraded to questionable Hayes (illness) has been downgraded to questionable for Thursday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Hayes was listed as probable on the Pistons' initial injury report for Thursday's matchup, but he's trending in the wrong direction ahead of tipoff. Coach Monty Williams said Wednesday that Hayes isn't yet feeling 100 percent healthy, so the Pistons may elect to hold him out for a second consecutive game as a precautionary measure.

DECEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to play Thursday Hayes (illness) is listed as probable for Thursday's game versus the Jazz.

Impact Hayes reportedly isn't feeling 100 percent healthy as he battles an illness but is still expected to suit up against Utah. If Hayes is upgraded to available, he may reclaim his starting spot from Jaden Ivey.

DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not yet back to 100 percent Coach Monty Williams said Wednesday that Hayes (illness) isn't yet back to feeling 100 percent healthy, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Hayes was unavailable for Monday's game against Atlanta due to his illness, and he's still feeling under the weather a few days later. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Thursday's game against the Jazz.

DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Hayes (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Hayes will miss his first game since Nov. 19 and just his second this season. His absence should open up more playing time for Jaden Ivey and Marcus Sasser. Hayes' next chance to suit up will come Thursday versus Utah.

DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable with illness Hayes is questionable for Monday's game versus the Hawks due to an illness.

Impact Hayes has been trending down in fantasy basketball, averaging just 3.5 points, 3.5 assists and 4.0 rebounds in 17.0 minutes over his last two games. If his illness forces him to miss Monday's game, we're likely to see more of Jaden Ivey and Marcus Sasser for Detroit.

DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scarcely incorporated Monday Hayes finished Monday's 131-123 loss to Indiana with six points (2-4 FG, 2-2 FT), one rebound, seven assists and one steal over 23 minutes.

Impact Hayes entered Monday's contest averaging 16.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists since re-joining the starting lineup in his last four games. He co-led Detroit with seven assists but never asserted himself offensively against a bottom-five Pacers' defense. On the court for his defensive energy and connective ball movement, Hayes is best viewed as a streaming candidate even when possessing a starting role.

DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Solid in return to starting unit Hayes finished Thursday's 118-112 loss to the Knicks with 23 points (10-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 28 minutes.

Impact Hayes was impressive in his return to the starting lineup, and he continues to evidence improved rapport and chemistry when playing alongside Cade Cunningham in the backcourt. Hayes is averaging 11.1 points and 4.5 assists per game when deployed as a starter, and he might remain in that role against the Cavaliers on Saturday. If that's the case, then his fantasy upside could get a considerable uptick based on his usage rate.

DECEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moves back to starting five Hayes is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Knicks, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Hayes moves back to the starting lineup after four straight games coming off the bench, and he will attempt to boost the team on the offensive side of the ball. Hayes is averaging 10.2 points, 4.5 assists and 3.0 rebounds per game when deployed as a starter.

DECEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Plays season-low 14 minutes Hayes closed with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two assists and two steals across 14 minutes during Monday's 107-103 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Hayes played in Monday's contest with padding to help protect his sprained left shoulder, but it's unclear how much the injury impacted Hayes workload. No setback was reported, so it's possible that Hayes is beginning to get phased out of Detroit's rotation. He has averaged just 4.8 points in 21.0 minutes per game over his last four contests. Hayes' usage in Friday's upcoming contest against Indiana will help shed light on his role.

NOVEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for Monday Hayes (shoulder) will play Monday against Denver.

Impact Hayes will return after a one-game absence due to a left shoulder sprain. Marcus Sasser will likely see a dip in usage, although it's unclear if Hayes will re-enter the starting lineup over Jaden Ivey.

NOVEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Monday Hayes (shoulder) is probable for Monday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Hayes missed his first game of the season Sunday against Toronto, but perhaps the Pistons were being cautious on the front end of the back-to-back set. Hayes' fantasy value was trending down prior to the absence, but hopefully he'll be rejuvenated going forward.

NOVEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive Sunday Hayes (shoulder) is out Sunday against Toronto.

Impact Hayes will miss his first game of the season after starting all 13 games for Detroit thus far. His usage has dwindled in recent games in favor of Jaden Ivey, setting up Ivey and, to a lesser extent Marcus Sasser, for enlarged workloads.

NOVEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to play Sunday Hayes is questionable to play Sunday due to a left shoulder sprain, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Hayes has been slumping of late and has registered three single-digit scoring outputs while shooting 36.4 percent from the field in that span, so perhaps the shoulder injury might be the reason behind the sudden slump. If Hayes can't go Sunday, then Jaden Ivey or Marcus Sasser would be in line to handle bigger roles.

NOVEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Descending to earth Hayes ended Tuesday's 126-120 loss to Atlanta with eight points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal in 23 minutes.

Impact Hayes combining for 15 points on 6-for-16 shooting is indicative of the player who struggled to crack Detroit's rotation last year. However, the 22-year-old has reduced his turnovers significantly and is earning minutes through his defensive effort. Hayes continues to start and finds himself in a balanced timeshare with Jaden Ivey at the moment.

NOVEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 21 points Hayes ended with 21 points (8-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Monday's 120-109 loss to the Warriors.

Impact The Pistons were missing seven players due to injuries, including Jaden Ivey and Alec Burks. Hayes is generally a low-usage offensive player who focuses on playmaking, but he stepped up on that end of the floor out of necessity. Hayes has been terrific over his last three games, averaging 14.7 points and 7.0 assists.

NOVEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Limited offensive output in defeat Hayes ended Wednesday's 110-101 loss to the Trail Blazers with zero points (0-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and three steals over 26 minutes.

Impact Although Hayes was held scoreless for the first time this year during Wednesday's loss, he racked up multiple steals for the third time over the first five games of the season. He's shooting just 27.3 percent from the floor to begin the year but is still averaging 6.4 points, 3.6 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 27.2 minutes per game.

NOVEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting season opener Hayes is part of the first unit for Wednesday's game against the Heat, Keith Langlois of Pistons.com reports.

Impact Surprisingly, Hayes will draw the starting nod in the backcourt alongside Cade Cunningham instead of Jaden Ivey. Though Hayes has historically been a strong producer in the assist column, he's likely to be relegated to an off-ball role when on the floor with Cunningham.

OCTOBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Turns in full practice Sunday Pistons head coach Monty Williams said Hayes (knee) was a full participant during Sunday's practice, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Williams ruled Bojan Bogdanovic (calf) and Monte Morris (back) out for Wednesday's season opener in Miami, but Hayes' return to full practice seemingly clears the way for him to suit up in that contest. When Detroit is at full strength, Hayes may not have a spot in the rotation, but Morris' absence Wednesday should allow the 22-year-old to settle in as the top backup to starting point guard Cade Cunningham.
