Killian Hayes Signing Exhibit 10 Deal With Nets
Killian Hayes is on his way to Brooklyn after agreeing to an Exhibit 10 deal to try to find his way on the Nets' roster. The former seventh-overall pick has been looking for a new home after being waived by the Detroit Pistons. Hayes was still on his rookie deal and saw a decrease in stats across the board before he was let go. Through his first four seasons, Hayes averaged 8.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.2 steals, and 2.0 turnovers per game with shooting splits of .382/.277/.775. If Hayes can't prove that he's grown in shooting efficiency and ball security, then he won't likely stick on an NBA roster. Brooklyn will be one of his best opportunities as they've started the rebuild after trading away Mikal Bridges this offseason.

Killian Hayes Signs With The Nets
Killian Hayes agreed to a one-year, non-guaranteed contract with the Brooklyn Nets. It's an Exhibit 10 deal, so he'll have a chance to compete for a roster spot during training camp. The 2020 No. 7 overall pick has spent his entire four-year career with the Pistons. In 210 games, he averaged 8.1 points, 5.2 assists, and 1.2 steals. With the Nets recently commencing a rebuild, there's a chance Hayes could get minutes and even start, giving him streaming value for fantasy managers. However, he'll need to make the team first.

Killian Hayes Probable Thursday
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.

Killian Hayes Probable For Tuesday
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.

Killian Hayes Probable Thursday
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.
