Killian Hayes (thumb) starting for Detroit Sunday; Cory Joseph back to bench

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes is in the lineup Sunday in the team's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

What It Means:

Once it was confirmed that Hayes would play - he was already probable coming in - this was a no-doubter. The second-year guard will retake the reins of the first unit. Veteran Cory Joseph will revert to a bench role.

In 14 games this season, Hayes has averaged 5.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 19.1 FanDuel points.
