Scores team-high 20 poins in loss Bailey finished Tuesday's 115-103 loss to the Clippers with 20 points (8-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt) and one rebound over 29 minutes.

Impact The Jazz were short-handed without Keyonte George (rest) and Jusuf Nurkic (illness), so Bailey was called upon to produce more during the loss. The rookie's 20 points marked his third-highest scoring total of the season, just behind a season-high 25 points that he recorded against the Spurs last week.

Shows two-way potential Bailey finished with 15 points (6-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals across 30 minutes during Thursday's 144-122 loss to Dallas.

Impact Bailey's rookie campaign has ebbed and flowed, but the signs of a potential high-end player on both sides of the ball were in display against Dallas. Bailey's 15 points were the most he's scored in the month of January. It was the second time in his career where he ended with at least two blocks and steals each. He'll have a chance to out another good game together in a rematch against Dallas on Saturday.

Starting sans Markkanen Bailey is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.

Impact Bailey has come off the bench in each of his last two appearances as he battled injury. The rookie will jump back into the first unit Wednesday night, as the Jazz will be without Lauri Markkanen (illness).

Good to go Monday Bailey (hip) is available for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact Bailey, who has missed seven of Utah's past eight games, was able to shed his questionable tag for this contest. He's not quite 100 percent yet, and he's likely to remain under some restrictions for the time being.

Iffy for Monday Bailey (hip) is questionable for Monday's game against Cleveland.

Impact Bailey has missed seven of Utah's last eight games due to a left hip flexor strain, though he'll have a shot at returning Monday. The rookie first-rounder will likely face a minutes restriction if he's cleared to play, though his presence would leave fewer minutes available for Cody Williams and Svi Mykhailiuk.

Not playing Saturday Bailey (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Bailey will miss a second consecutive game while nursing a left hip flexor strain, the same injury which caused him to miss the Jazz's five games prior to their overtime loss to the Thunder on Wednesday. Bailey's next opportunity to play is Monday against the Cavaliers, though given how long he's been dealing with his injury, the Jazz could opt to play things cautiously with the rookie first-rounder. Brice Sensabaugh should continue to see additional playing time for as long as Bailey is sidelined.

Ruled out vs. Dallas Bailey is out for Thursday's game against the Mavericks due to a left hip flexor strain, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Impact The rookie first-rounder is sitting out the second leg of Utah's back-to-back Thursday. Barring any setbacks, Bailey figures to be available for Saturday's clash with the Hornets. With some minutes freed up, Brice Sensabaugh seems to be worth streaming in shallow fantasy leagues and Svi Mykhailiuk in deeper formats.

Iffy for Thursday Bailey is questionable for Thursday's game against the Mavericks due to a left hip flexor strain.

Impact Bailey returned from a five-game absence in Wednesday's defeat in Oklahoma City, and he's in danger of sitting out the second leg of this back-to-back. If the rookie first-rounder can't suit up, Svi Mykhailiuk and Brice Sensabaugh would see an increase in streaming value Thursday.

Struggles in return Bailey recorded two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and one steal over 10 minutes during Wednesday's 129-125 overtime loss to the Thunder.

Impact Bailey returned from a five-game absence as a result of a hip injury, logging just 10 minutes off the bench. While he should eventually move back into the starting lineup, the medical staff is likely to take a cautious approach, meaning his playing time could be limited for the foreseeable future. Even as a starter, Bailey has failed to make the most of his opportunities thus far this season, averaging 10.1 points and 1.5 three-pointers in 23.4 minutes per game.

Available to play Bailey (hip) is available for Wednesday's game in Oklahoma City.

Impact Bailey is set to return from a five-game absence Wednesday evening, so don't be surprised if he has his minutes monitored in his first game back. With Bailey active, Cody Williams could drop out of the rotation entirely.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Wednesday Bailey is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to a left hip flexor strain.

Impact The rookie first-rounder is trying to end a five-game absence with the strain. If Bailey isn't ready to return Wednesday, Brice Sensabaugh would likely continue to start. Svi Mykhailiuk and Taylor Hendricks would also have an opportunity to claim a more sizable role in this case.
