Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (illness) is regarded as probable for Thursday's matchup against Boston. Hayes has been sidelined for four games, and he's actually had the probable tag a couple of times during his absence, so it might not mean he's on track to return. Jaden Ivey has made four consecutive starts with Hayes unavailable. He's also been productive coming off the bench, but the starter's role definitely makes Ivey a more attractive fantasy piece.

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (illness) is probable for Tuesday's matchup against the Nets. The young Frenchman has missed three games with an illness. Hayes was set to return to the lineup on Saturday versus Brooklyn, but he was a late scratch. As a backcourt starter alongside Cade Cunningham, Hayes has averaged 9.1 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 4.4 assists this season. His return will likely push Jaden Ivey back to the bench, although he's had a pair of very impressive outings lately. Marcus Sasser's minutes will also take a hit.

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (illness) is probable for Thursday's game against Utah. He was out Monday versus Atlanta with an illness, and Pistons head coach Monty Williams admitted on Wednesday that Hayes isn't 100 percent, but he is apparently ready to battle through the illness on Thursday. Hayes has contributed 9.1 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 4.4 assists this season. He's been a starter in all but four games and will likely push Jaden Ivey back to the bench on Thursday. Ivey can still be productive off the pine but is definitely a riskier fantasy option as a bench performer.

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (shoulder) will now miss Sunday's meeting with the Toronto Raptors. The 22-year-old has appeared in every game for the Pistons this season. However, he's now out to tend to a left shoulder sprain. Detroit's injury report is lengthy for Sunday's contest, meaning Jaden Ivey or Marcus Sasser could be thrust into the starting lineup. That said, both men could see a noticeable increase in fantasy production regardless of their roles, so they are worth considering for 12-team leagues and up.

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (shoulder) may miss Sunday's contest against Toronto. The 22-year-old has played as well as expected this season, averaging 10.2 points, 4.5 assists, and 1.2 steals. However, he's dealing with a shoulder sprain, jeopardizing his availability versus the Raptors. With Monte Morris (quadriceps) still sidelined, Marcus Sasser, averaging 9.1 points this season, could see an uptick on the scoring end if Hayes is ruled out, giving him some value for fantasy managers.

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes faces increased competition and could be heading for the exit soon. The Pistons have Cade Cunningham healthy again, another top-five pick in Jaden Ivey, and have brought in veteran Monte Morris this offseason, along with Marcus Sasser, whose rights were acquired via a trade with Memphis on draft day. James L. Edwards III of The Athletic believes that the Pistons will likely trade Hayes before the 2023-24 campaign starts, or the team is trying to "light a fire" under Hayes and get more out of him with added competition for playing time. Hayes averaged 28.3 minutes last season and put up 10.3 points with 6.2 assists and 1.4 steals. He started 56 of his 76 games, but the situation looks to be very different for him if he stays in Motown.

The Detroit Pistons have recently engaged in trade talks surrounding guard Killian Hayes. The organization is reportedly talking to the Dallas Mavericks, but it doesn't sound like the Mavs have much interest in Hayes. The Mavericks have shown interest in Bojan Bogdanovic, but Detroit doesn't seem willing to move the veteran forward. However, the Pistons would like to move Hayes to clear up their logjam on the perimeter. Hayes is the former seventh overall pick from the 2020 NBA Draft. Last season, he averaged 10.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 6.2 assists in 28.3 minutes per game. The 21-year-old still has potential, so the Pistons should be able to find a trade partner for Hayes.

According to James Edwards III of The Athletic, Pistons guard Killian Hayes is a candidate to get traded heading into the 2023-24 campaign. Detroit landed Houston's Marcus Sasser via the 2023 NBA Draft while acquiring Monte Morris recently. Alec Burks also picked up his player option, meaning Hayes could be the "odd man out," according to Edwards. But there is still time for Hayes to evolve and grow this summer, which would result in an enhanced role. However, that's not likely to happen, so moving the 2020 No. 7 overall pick might be on the horizon, especially since he's eligible for a rookie extension.

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes finished off the season with a game-high 26 points in Sunday's 103-81 loss in Chicago. He shot 8-for-18 from the field, including 3-for-8 from outside, and completed a good all-around performance with eight rebounds, seven assists and one block. Hayes saved some of his best performances for last, also putting up a season-high 28 points in Detroit's penultimate game against Indiana. The 21-year-old is typically a very unreliable scorer and finished the season shooting only 37.7 percent from the field. Hayes averaged 10.3 points with 2.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.4 steals, so he's capable of helping out managers in multiple areas. However, his role could completely change in 2023-24, with Cade Cunningham (shin) returning and the team getting a new head coach after Dwane Casey moved upstairs.

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (hand) is set to return from a two-game absence Thursday versus the Hornets, with the team listing him as probable for the contest. The 21-year-old has been nursing a left hand contusion. Cory Joseph has had a couple of busy nights in Hayes' absence but will have to settle for fewer minutes Thursday. Hayes is a very inconsistent scorer, but with Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) and Alec Burks (foot) out, he should have a chance to get plenty of shots up. Across the season, Hayes has averaged 9.5 points on 37 percent shooting with 2.7 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.4 steals.

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (hand) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He suffered a left hand contusion during Saturday's game that is going to cost him at least one more game. The Pistons are expected to use a committee approach with Cory Joseph, Alec Burks, and Hamidou Diallo. Between the three, Burks is the best fantasy option, while Diallo could be a decent deep league streaming choice.

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (hand) is questionable for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers. He injured his left hand during the loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night. However, per head coach Dwane Casey, X-rays came back clean. But until Hayes' subsequent MRI results are released, it's anyone's guess how long he'll be out. The Pistons will enter Monday's contest down Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles), Jalen Duren (ankle), and Isaiah Stewart (hip). At the same time, James Wiseman (knee) is questionable. As a result, Hayes should be a starting fantasy option if he plays. Yet, if he doesn't, guys like Marvin Bagley III, Jaden Ivey, Hamidou Diallo, and ... [More]

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (hand) didn't return to Saturday's loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. He injured his left hand, limiting him to only 18 minutes on the night. Head coach Dwane Casey provided an update, reporting that X-rays came back clean. However, Hayes isn't out of the woods just yet, as the 21-year-old is awaiting the results of an MRI he had on Sunday. The Pistons haven't published an injury report ahead of Monday's meeting with the Portland Trail Blazers, although fantasy managers should consider Hayes questionable, at the very least. That said, it's hard to determine what Hayes' role will be on Monday if he plays, considering his fantasy outlook is semi-contingent on the availability of Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles), Jalen Duren (ankle), Isaiah Stewart (hip), and Alec Burks (foot).

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (hand) exited Saturday's loss to the Cavaliers and didn't return. The 21-year-old injured his left hand, ending his night after only 18 minutes of work. The Pistons were shorthanded entering this contest, as Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles), Jalen Duren (ankle), and Isaiah Stewart (hip) weren't available, so losing another player certainly wasn't ideal. Nevertheless, if Hayes can't suit up for Monday's meeting with the Portland Trail Blazers, Cory Joseph and R.J. Hampton, who combined for 20 points on Saturday, may see more action. However, that doesn't mean either man will make for a good fantasy option.

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes has been promoted to the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Hayes has been in a slump and coming off the bench, but came up big last game with 17 points and nine assists in 32 minutes. This performance appears to have turned heads in the coaching staff and Hayes will replace Alec Burks as a starter Wednesday. Burks has been a common name in trade rumors and could be dealt before Thursday's deadline.

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The young guard is battling a left shoulder contusion, so he'll sit this game out. His absence will increase the usage for Jaden Ivey, which should make him a strong fantasy option for Monday. Also, Cory Joseph and Alec Burks should see more minutes coming their way. Burks has been consistent off the bench for the Pistons this season. That being said, he'd have strong streaming appeal if given more minutes on Monday.

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (shoulder) is questionable for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks due to a shoulder contusion on his shooting arm. The 21-year-old only played one game all of last week since it was the Paris game, so with all of the rest in between, this must be a more serious issue to keep him as questionable. If Hayes can't suit up, Cory Joseph would be in the starting rotation but he wouldn't be a great streaming option since Jaden Ivey would likely see most of the point guard usage.

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes turned in a strong stat line despite losing 111-123 to the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday. The 21-year-old posted 26 points, four rebounds, six assists, three steals, and one block while shooting 11-for-17 overall and 4-for-8 from deep. He's filled in admirably for Cade Cunningham this season and has turned into a decent fantasy contributor in deeper leagues. So far, he's boasting career highs this season in points and assists per game as well as field goal and three-point efficiency.

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes has been suspended three games for his involvement in Wednesday's altercation with the Orlando Magic. Honestly, it's surprising Hayes didn't get more games considering he punched Moritz Wagner in the back of the head. Regardless, Alec Burks basically becomes a must-add player with Hayes unavailable for the next three games. Burks should play a significant role in the rotation and have strong streaming appeal. Also, Saddiq Bey is expected to have an expanded role, which should increase his fantasy value.

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes was ejected during Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. He was chasing down a loose ball when Moritz Wagner shoved him into the bench. Hayes got up and punched Wagner in the back of the head. Both teams got into it after the shot to the head from Hayes. The refs ejected Hayes, Wagner, and Hamidou Diallo from the contest. The expectation is that Hayes is going to be suspended for hitting Wagner. The Pistons will need to rely on Cory Joseph and Alec Burks more with Hayes likely missing time.
