Fantasy Impact:

Hayes’ absence stretches on, with his next shot to return set for Sunday against Phoenix, potentially boosting minutes for Christian Koloko and Alex Len—especially if Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) or Trey Jemison (illness) also sit. His scoring and rebounding stay off the court, nudging fantasy managers in deeper leagues to monitor the Lakers’ frontcourt options.
