Impact Bailey was limited to 17 minutes Friday and posted five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and a steal.

Ties season scoring high Bailey closed Monday's 134-117 loss to the Warriors with 21 points (8-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 29 minutes.

Impact It's the third time in eight games since moving into the starting five that Bailey has scored at least 20 points, and Monday's output tied his career high. The fifth overall pick in the 2025 Draft is finding his rhythm, averaging 14.4 points, 3.5 boards, 2.3 threes, 1.9 assists and 1.4 steals as a starter while shooting 52.3 percent from the floor.

Pops for 25 points in loss Bailey finished Friday's 144-112 loss to the Thunder with 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and three steals over 21 minutes.

Fouls out, plays 10 minutes Bailey produced five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and one block across 10 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 150-147 double-overtime win over Chicago.

Impact Bailey struggled with foul trouble all game long and was limited to only 10 minutes. The rookie has had some notable performances, but for the most part, he's struggled to adapt to the pace of the NBA -- even if his scoring prowess is beyond any doubt. Bailey is very valuable in dynasty formats due to his long-term upside, but his value in standard formats isn't that high. Several other first-year players are performing better than the former Rutgers star.

Through 10 regular-season appearances, the No. 5 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft is averaging 6.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 19.3 minutes per game. Bailey should continue to hold a key role in Utah's rotation, though it's unclear whether he'll remain in the starting lineup or if Isaiah Collier will reclaim that spot.

Drawing first NBA start Bailey is starting Monday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact Bailey will enter the starting lineup Monday as the Jazz elect to shake up the starting five and bump Isaiah Collier to a bench role. Bailey hasn't been overly impressive off the bench, averaging 7.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists in his last five appearances, but he should have a chance to be more involved Monday night.

Impact Despite being a highly-touted prospect out of college, Bailey has yet to start a game at the NBA level this season.
