Bailey chipped in 20 points (8-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 127-122 victory over the Timberwolves.
The rookie forward produced his best scoring effort since Nov. 24, when he dropped 21 points on the Warriors.

Jazz's Ace Bailey: Shows two-way potential
Rotowire
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.
Bailey's rookie campaign has ebbed and flowed, but the signs of a potential high-end player on both sides of the ball were on display against Dallas. Bailey's 15 points were the most he's scored in January, and it was the second time in his career that he ended with at least two blocks and two steals. He'll have a chance to put another good game together in a rematch against Dallas on Saturday.

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

Jazz's Ace Bailey: Iffy for Monday
Rotowire
Bailey (hip) is questionable for Monday's game against Cleveland.
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.

Jazz's Ace Bailey: Not playing Saturday
Rotowire
Bailey (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Bailey will miss a second consecutive game while nursing a left hip flexor strain, which is the same injury that caused him to miss the Jazz's five games before 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.

Jazz's Ace Bailey: Ruled out vs. Dallas
Rotowire
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.
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.

Jazz's Ace Bailey: Struggles in return
Rotowire
Bailey (hip) 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.
Bailey returned from a five-game absence due to a left hip flexor strain, but after starting in each of his previous 21 appearances and averaging 26.0 minutes per contest, he came off the bench and handled his lightest workload of the season Wednesday. While Bailey should eventually reclaim his spot on the top unit, the Jazz are likely to take a cautious approach with him and ramp him up slowly, which means 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, averaging 12.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.0 three-pointers and 1.5 assists in those 21 contests.

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

Rotowire
