According to official report https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4165320/USS-Fitzg... it played a part for sure:

The command leadership allowed the schedule of events preceding the collision to fatigue the crew.

The command leadership failed to assess the risks of fatigue and implement mitigation measures to ensure adequate crew rest.
