Jazz have zero regrets about drafting Ace Bailey despite his numbers Bailey's not consistently lighting the world on fire, and it hasn't mattered one bit to the Jazz.

Solid total in defeat Bailey posted 19 points (7-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-6 FT), four rebounds and one steal over 26 minutes during Thursday's 143-135 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Bailey enjoyed a decent night on the floor despite the end result. The 2025 first-round pick has endured some low totals, but he's certainly scoring well enough to be a relevant producer for the Jazz. Since earning the starting job in early November, he's averaged 12.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 steals over 17 games.

Quiet line in win Bailey totaled seven points (3-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists in 24 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 140-133 overtime victory over Dallas.

Impact While Bailey was clearly outshined by Cooper Flagg's 40-point explosion, his team was able to get the last laugh as Utah ended up winning in overtime. Bailey, however, has not been shooting well, averaging 9.2 points on just 35.2 percent from the field and 1.4 threes on a meager 31.8 percent clip in his last five contests.

Modest production continues Bailey racked up 13 points (5-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt), one rebound, four assists, one block and one steal across 32 minutes during Sunday's 131-101 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Bailey's production has spiked yet, but he has been a consistent producer since moving into the starting lineup, averaging 13.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.5 blocks in 26.3 minutes over his last 14 appearances. Bailey has played at least 32 minutes in two straight games, recording at least one steal and one block in each of those contests. Before this two-game stretch, Bailey had played more than 30 minutes only three times in 21 appearances.

Impact Bailey did the majority of his scoring from beyond the arc and has now drilled three treys in back-to-back appearances. He also provided an unexpected boost on the opposite end, recording a season-high three blocks. The rookie continues to show that he's gaining confidence at the NBA level, scoring in double figures in six of his last seven games.

Impact Bailey was a bright spot for Utah in Sunday's one-sided loss to Houston, logging a team-high 19 points on solid efficiency. The fifth overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft seems to be finding his footing at the next level, as he has scored in double-figures in nine of his last 11 games after failing to do so in his first eight appearances.

Off report for Sunday Bailey (knee) isn't listed on Utah's injury report for Sunday's game against the Rockets, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Impact Bailey exited Friday's win over the Kings and didn't return due to a right knee contusion, though he's set to play Sunday. Over his last five outings, the rookie first-rounder has averaged 12.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.4 steals in 24.4 minutes per game.

Won't return Friday Bailey won't return to Friday's game against the Kings due to a right knee contusion.

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. The rookie has settled in nicely as a starter for the Jazz in recent weeks, and he should be considered questionable to play Sunday against the Rockets until the Jazz release an update on his condition in the coming hours.

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.

Impact Bailey's production has ramped up after fouling out during Sunday's narrow win over the Bulls. Aside from that outlier game, Bailey has performed well during his six-game stint with the first unit, averaging 14.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.5 steals over the span.

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.

The Oregon product had now rattled off three consecutive double-digit performances, and should receive consideration in all fantasy formats moving forward.
