Ace Bailey is listed as questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Pelicans.

Fantasy Impact

Bailey lands back on the injury report with a knee issue. If he sits, John Konchar should see more run for Utah.

Ace Bailey flirted with a double-double for the Jazz Friday night, grabbing six rebounds and scoring 22 points (9-17 FG, 2-8 3PT, 2-3 FT) while also dishing out one assist and blocking one shot in a 140-106 loss to the Rockets.

Fantasy Impact

Bailey continues a solid stretch on both ends of the floor finishing with one or more assists, one or more rebounds, and 12 or more points in each of his last five games. The 19-year-old continues to offer fantasy managers one of the more impactful options as part of an underperforming Utah lineup, averaging 13.6 points and 4.1 rebounds per game while posting a 20.7% usage rate so far this season.

Bailey extended his double-digit scoring streak to eight games Monday, setting a season-high with five assists alongside 19 points (8-of-15 FGs), three three-pointers, and two rebounds in the loss to the Cavaliers.

Fantasy Impact

The assist total is an encouraging sign of playmaking growth, though the empty defensive stat line is a reminder that his fantasy value is still largely tied to scoring and three-point production.
