Ace Bailey

Ace Bailey has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs after suffering a left hip flexor strain.

Fantasy Impact

Bailey exited Friday's win over the Pistons early due to the injury and will miss the second leg of the back-to-back. With Bailey sidelined, Brice Sensabaugh becomes a primary player to watch; Sensabaugh exploded for 20 points in Friday's contest and is worth consideration in deeper fantasy formats, especially if Bailey's injury forces a multi-game absence.

Ace Bailey left Friday's game early against the Pistons with a hip injury.

Fantasy Impact

Bailey suffered the injury during the second quarter and did not return. If he misses time, Brice Sensabaugh could benefit the most for fantasy managers.

Ace Bailey scored 17 points (7-12 FG, 3-5 3P) with four rebounds and a steal in the Jazz's 137-128 loss to Memphis.

Fantasy Impact

Bailey has now been in double digits in each of his last four games and 14+ in three of them. He's also been right at four rebounds per game in that stretch, boosting his fantasy appeal. At this point, though, he's more of a fantasy spot start than a locked-in play.

Ace Bailey chipped in 13 points (5-13 FG, 2-6 3PT, 1-3 FT) while also blocking one shot, recording one steal, dishing out one assist, and grabbing five rebounds in a 146-112 loss to the Knicks.

Fantasy Impact

Bailey continues a modest stretch on both ends of the floor, finishing with two or more rebounds and five or more points in each of his last five games. The 19-year-old continues to adjust to his role as part of an inconsistent Utah lineup in his rookie campaign, averaging 10.1 points and 3.4 rebounds per game to go along with an 18.2% usage rate so far this season.

Ace Bailey recorded a career-high three blocks in Monday's 133-125 win over the Houston Rockets. He added 13 points (5-of-11 FG, 3-of-8 3PT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals across 28 minutes.

Fantasy Impact

Bailey has now scored in double digits in six of his last seven games, averaging 13.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.3 steals during that span. He’s looked much better after a rough start to his career and should continue seeing steady opportunities. He remains worth holding, especially in deeper and dynasty formats.
