Likely to play Thursday
Hayes (back) is probable for Thursday's game against Chicago, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
Análise
Hayes was downgraded to out shortly before tipoff Tuesday because of back soreness, but he's on track to return Thursday. Hayes is averaging 7.0 points and 4.0 rebounds across 17.7 minutes per game this season.

Out with back soreness
Hayes won't play Tuesday against the Timberwolves due to back soreness.
Análise
Hayes was a late addition to the injury report, so it appears the back issue flared up at some point during pre-game warmups. Maxi Kleber (back) is also out, so Drew Timme will be the favorite to get run as the backup center Tuesday evening.

Headed to bench
Hayes will come off the bench for Sunday's game against the Knicks, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.
Análise
Deandre Ayton (knee) is back and starting, so Hayes will return to a reserve role with the Lakers. In 45 games off the bench this season, Hayes has averaged 6.2 points and 3.9 rebounds per game.

Operates as starter Friday
Hayes recorded nine points (3-6 FG, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Friday's 128-117 victory over the Pacers.
Análise
Hayes entered the starting lineup Friday with Deandre Ayton (knee) and Maxi Kleber (back) both sidelined, marking his eighth start of the campaign. While he didn't quite replicate the scoring punch from his season-high 19-point performance against Denver on Thursday, he remained efficient from the floor and perfect from the charity stripe. Hayes notably logged 25 minutes in the win, serving as the primary beneficiary of the Lakers' thinned frontcourt. He should continue to see expanded run for as long as Ayton remains on the shelf.

Starting Friday
Hayes is in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup with the Pacers, Trevor Lane of LakersNation.com reports.
Análise
Hayes will draw the start with Deandre Ayton (knee) unavailable and could be headed for major minutes due to Maxi Kleber (back) also being out. Through seven starts this season, Hayes has registered averages of 11.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals per game.

Hits for season-high 19 off bench
Hayes finished Thursday's 120-113 loss to Denver with 19 points (8-10 FG, 3-5 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes off the bench.
Análise
Deandre Ayton (knee) was able to play only four minutes, opening the door for Hayes to see his biggest workload since Feb. 12 and set a new season scoring high. Hayes hasn't scored more than eight points in any of his prior six games, but if Ayton winds up missing more time, he's likely to be the biggest beneficiary in the Lakers' frontcourt.
