Hayes not troubled by illness: Kings center Chuck Hayes was back on the floor on Sunday against Houston, after missing Saturday’s game against the Clippers with food poisoning. Hayes played 25 minutes in the game, scoring just three points with five rebounds and a block and a steal, as the Kings fell, 104-87. (Updated 04/09/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Hayes’ status for the game was in question, however he did not seem too bothered by the illness. He rarely puts up big numbers, so Hayes can be considered a low-end No. 2 center in deeper formats when healthy. (Updated 04/09/2012).

02/02/2012 10:14 Courtside Seat: Do the Knicks have a point?
The Knicks back court has been inconsistent so far and with Baron Davis close to returning, the picture is murky. Our Jamey Eisenberg breaks down the Knicks going forward and much more from his Courtside Seat.
With Yao Ming retired, Chuck Hayes remains the team's top option at center. While most of the offensive touches inside should continue to go through Luis Scola, Hayes should scrape together about 8-10 points on most nights due to his 30 minutes or so of playing time. That type of run allowed him to average a career-high eight boards per game last season to go with nearly a block per game. Count on him as a reliable third option at center to be taken late in drafts as a backup option. Barring any significant changes under the team's new coaching staff, Hayes should be in position for similar production. (Updated 8/28/11)
