Gordon Hayward - G/F - Jazz

Gordon Hayward shot 6-of-9 from the field for 15 points with four assists and three 3-pointers in 31 minutes against the Sixers on Monday.

He's certainly coming on and the Jazz are playing him hefty minutes. Hayward played 38.4 minutes per game in his previous five games and should be owned in all leagues.

Gordon Hayward - G/F - Jazz

Gordon Hayward hit just 2-of-10 shots for five points on Friday, but did chip in with six rebounds, five assists and a block over 34 minutes.

The sign of a maturing fantasy player is somebody that gives owners something when they're clearly off. Hayward has been on fire lately, so hopefully this doesn't break his rhythm.

Gordon Hayward - G/F - Jazz

Gordon Hayward had 27 points, eight boards, a steal and three 3-pointers on 9-of-15 shooting in Wednesday's loss to the Rockets.

Don't look now, but he's suddenly this team's best player, and should be in all starting lineups while the Jazz's big men all try to outdo each other in the mediocrity department.

Gordon Hayward - G/F - Jazz

Gordon Hayward scored 17 points on 6-of-14 shooting (including three treys) with two rebounds, three assists, one steal and four blocks in the Jazz's 90-83 home loss to the ailing Knicks.

This wasn't Hayward's best game by any stretch but he's starting and putting up nice numbers for owners that held on during the lean times. Still, the Jazz are imploding and their frustration is evident on the floor, which can all probably be traced to the team's stubborn insistence on making Al Jefferson (10 points, 4-of-13 FGs, 11 boards, zero steals or blocks) their centerpiece.

Gordon Hayward - G/F - Jazz

Gordon Hayward replaced DeMarre Carroll as Utah's starting SF on Saturday, scoring 17 points with three 3-pointers, eight rebounds, three assists and one steal in 38 minutes.

The Jazz trail the Lakers by half a game for the eighth seed, and Tyrone Corbin explained the lineup change by saying, "This is the time to do it to give us the best chance to finish as strong as we can." Hayward is actually averaging more points, 3-pointers and assists in a reserve role, where he handles the ball more frequently, but his team-high playing time suggests that he's about to explode.

Gordon Hayward - G/F - Jazz

Gordon Hayward will replace DeMarre Carroll as Utah's starting SF on Saturday.

Hayward is averaging more points in fewer minutes as a reserve this season, thanks to his expanded role with the second unit, but this should still be a positive development for fantasy owners. Double-check that he's in your active lineups.

Gordon Hayward - G/F - Jazz

One game after he was held to five points, Gordon Hayward scored 13 points to join Alec Burks (14 points) and Enes Kanter (11 points) as the only Jazz players in double-digits.

Hayward hit two 3-pointers with five rebounds and two steals, helping to offset his 3-of-8 shooting and five turnovers. He has been terrific for the past month, returning fourth-round value in nine-cat leagues, with FG percentage (39.4 percent) being the only thing holding him back from near-elite value.

Gordon Hayward - G/F - Jazz

The Jazz turned away from Gordon Hayward in Friday's loss, as he hit just 2-of-6 shots for five points with one rebound, one assist and one steal in 29 minutes.

The timing of Al Jefferson's return tonight isn't surprising, as the team tends to shut down offensively when the ball gets dumped into Big Al too much. Add in Marvin Williams' 10 shot attempts and the return of Mo Williams (1-of-7 FGs, three assists), and there was enough interference to throw Hayward off his game. Owners should be far from panicking despite the familiar background music.

Gordon Hayward - G/F - Jazz

Gordon Hayward played 34 minutes and hit 8-of-17 shots and three 3-pointers on his way to 25 points, seven assists and three steals in Wednesday's tough loss to the Cavs.

Marvin Williams was demoted to the bench for DeMarre Carroll, but we're guessing it will be Hayward who gets most of the small forward minutes going forward, despite coming off the bench. He's over his injury and should be ready to start producing at a high level down the stretch, especially now that Williams is no longer in his way.

Gordon Hayward - G/F - Jazz

Gordon Hayward shot 3-of-16 from the field for 13 points with seven boards, five assists and one 3-pointer in 38 minutes against the Bucks on Monday.

He picked up a little extra time with Marvin Williams suffering a hand injury and his 38 minutes set a season high. Hayward has been hot over his previous five, averaging 18.2 points, 4.0 boards, 3.6 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.6 blocks and 1.8 triples, so owners shouldn't make a hasty decision following Monday's poor shooting performance. DeMarre Carroll was also productive in the loss with 13 points, three boards, three steals and two 3-pointers, so he's worth a look in deeper leagues until things clear up on Williams.

Gordon Hayward - G/F - Jazz

Gordon Hayward hit 4-of-9 shots and a 3-pointer for 11 points, three rebounds and four assists in 37 minutes of Wednesday's loss to the Hawks.

Hayward wasn't dazzling tonight, but has scored in double figures in all four games since returning from his shoulder injury. And the news gets better for him going forward, as Al Jefferson (ankle), Paul Millsap (ankle) and DeMarre Carroll (knee) are all iffy for Friday. Hayward is a must-start player the rest of the way, especially with a perfect remaining weekly schedule for the Jazz and all the injuries in Utah.

Gordon Hayward - G/F - Jazz

Gordon Hayward kept his foot on the gas with 26 points in Monday's overtime loss, hitting 7-of-16 shots (including four threes) with two rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 36 minutes off the bench.

Maybe Ty Corbin has figured out that his offense works better with Hayward at the controls instead of dumping the ball into Al Jefferson incessantly. Either way, the chance for a second half surge was a reason that some of us over here decided to hold through the break and it's possible that's what we're seeing.

Gordon Hayward - G/F - Jazz

Gordon Hayward was a rare bright spot for Utah on Saturday -- he scored 23 points with eight rebounds, three assists and one steal in 34 minutes off the bench.

Hayward did most of his damage with his 13-of-14 FT shooting, and his movement and passing worked wonders for Utah's offense. His +/- rating was +12 in a game the Jazz lost by 13 points, and it's safe to say that his sprained shoulder has fully healed.

Gordon Hayward - G/F - Jazz

Gordon Hayward said that he has recovered from his shoulder injury and he's 100 percent.

He shook off the rust quickly in his return on Tuesday, scoring 17 points in 25 minutes. Hayward did say there's still some pain, so the threat of an aggravation does exist. He had a productive January before going down to injury, averaging 14.5 points, 1.3 triples, 0.6 blocks and 0.6 steals, so he's worth owning in most leagues.
