ANALYSIS: The No. 7 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft has been sidelined since Jan. 4 with a hip injury. Hayes has suited up for just seven games with the Pistons, averaging 4.6 points and 3.6 assists per contest. With Detroit well out of the playoff hunt, this could be a chance for Hayes to build up his confidence in a lower-stakes situation.
