Bailey was able to score at least 20 points for the third time in his last four games. Unfortunately, even if it was an efficient night, he didn’t provide value in any other categories. Bailey should have more big scoring nights as the season progresses, but his value in category leagues will be dependent on how much he can contribute in other areas. Still, the minutes should be there, and he has had success on offense. He’ll look to stay hot against the Warriors on Wednesday.

One game removed from recording his fourth 20-point game of the season, Bailey enjoyed the most productive night of his rookie campaign on Thursday. The 25 points are a new high for the lottery pick, who was also productive on the glass. Of course, category league managers would like to see some defensive production from Bailey, but he’s taking steps in the right direction.

Bailey had his first game with at least 20 points since November 24 against the Warrior, when he had 21 points. The 19-year-old small forward isn’t a fantasy star just yet. He wasn’t particularly efficient with 20 points on 17 attempts, but the volume was his best in months. Bailey could remain in the starting lineup with the Jazz still shorthanded.

A double-figure scorer in three straight games, Bailey’s performance on Saturday was his best since returning from a hip injury. Of course, category league managers would like to see some defensive production from the rookie, but shooting 50 percent from the field and grabbing eight rebounds was a step in the right direction. The Jazz open a four-game Week 14 on Monday against the Spurs.

Making his second start since returning from a hip injury, Bailey recorded a complete stat line in Thursday’s defeat. Rostered in 15 percent of Yahoo! leagues, the rookie’s fantasy value remains low. However, if fantasy managers can take the hit of Bailey’s inefficient shooting, he’s someone who will have every opportunity to change that during the second half of the season.

Bailey has played in only one of Utah’s last eight games, but he’ll be available to face Cleveland. It’s unclear if he’ll face any restrictions, but Bailey’s return should diminish Cody Williams’ role.

Bailey has missed seven of Utah’s last eight games, resulting in Cody Williams getting a few opportunities to start. While Williams may remain in that role even if Bailey plays on Monday, he is not worth the risk in redraft leagues.

Bailey was only able to play ten minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the Thunder, his first game back after missing five with a strained hip flexor. The rookie did not play on Thursday against Dallas, so Cody Williams played 22 minutes as a starter. Look for something similar on Saturday, and Williams is not worth streaming.

Bailey returned to action after a five-game absence on Wednesday, playing 10 minutes off the bench in a loss to the Thunder. His absence for Thursday’s game will not affect the starting lineup, as Brice Sensabaugh will retain that spot. However, no Bailey should mean more playing time for Taylor Hendricks and Cody Williams.

Bailey missed five games with a hip injury but returned last night to play 10 minutes against the Thunder. The Jazz are clearly going to be cautious with their rookie, so they may sit Bailey for the second game of a back-to-back. That would likely mean more minutes for Brice Sensabaugh on Thursday.

Bailey is back after missing Utah’s last five games with a left hip flexor strain. Brice Sensabaugh has been the replacement in the starting lineup, and he could retain that role if Bailey’s playing time is restricted.

Bailey has missed Utah’s last five games, including Monday’s loss to the Trail Blazers, for which he was initially questionable. Brice Sensabaugh has filled the void in the starting lineup, but his production has been inconsistent.

Bailey is set to miss his fifth consecutive game with a left hip flexor strain. Brice Sensabaugh will likely continue to fill in for Bailey in the starting lineup, but he’s only worth considering in deeper formats.

Due to a strained left hip flexor, Bailey has missed Utah’s last four games. Brice Sensabaugh has filled the resulting void in the starting lineup and should continue to do so if Bailey can’t play on Monday. Sensabaugh is only worth a look in extremely deep redraft leagues.

Bailey will miss a fourth straight game due to a strained left hip flexor. Brice Sensabaugh should remain in the starting lineup until the rookie is healthy enough to play.

Bailey’s absence on Thursday will mark his third straight after sustaining the hip injury in a win over the Pistons on December 26. The rookie forward had scored in double figures in each of the four games prior and had begun to find a rhythm on the offensive end. Brice Sensabaugh has filled in for Bailey in the starting lineup and should continue to occupy the spot so long as Bailey is sidelined.

Injured during Friday’s win over the Pistons, Bailey will miss a second straight game with a strained left hip flexor. Brice Sensabaugh started Saturday’s win over the Spurs and played 34 minutes. With a similar workload likely for Tuesday, he would be worth streaming on a four-game night.

Bailey left Friday’s win over the Pistons with a left hip flexor strain and will subsequently miss Saturday’s game against the Spurs. If the injury turns out to be serious, Brice Sensabaugh, who dropped 20 points Friday, is worth rostering in deeper formats.

Bailey exited Friday’s game during the second quarter and has been diagnosed with a left hip flexor strain. While Taylor Hendricks entered the lineup at the time of Bailey’s exit, Brice Sensabaugh may be the Jazz player who benefits the most if the rookie has to miss time. At a minimum, Sensabaugh offers a higher offensive ceiling than Hendricks.

Bailey was the leading scorer for Utah and was one of six players to score in double figures for them. That may seem like it was a balanced attack, but nearly a third of the team’s points came in the fourth quarter, after the game was out of reach. Bailey was able to have a decent night in what was an ugly loss, and he’ll look to keep it going in the rematch to start off the week on Monday.

Bailey exited Friday’s win over the Kings with a bruised right knee and did not return. The good news is that the rookie isn’t on the initial injury report for Sunday. Bailey being back in the fold lowers Brice Sensabaugh’s ceiling, but he’s still worth a look in deep redraft leagues. Both players should be rostered in dynasty formats.

Bailey has been ruled out for the remainder of this game, which opens the door for minutes on the win. Brice Sensabaugh should fill the void and provide some value from beyond the arc.

Bailey’s metamorphosis into a reliable fantasy contributor is slowly starting to accelerate over the last two weeks as he’s eclipsed 20 points in three of his past seven contests while averaging 24 minutes during that span. The 19-year-old lottery pick is averaging 15 points, three rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.1 steals over that seven-game sample size. Simply put, he’s rapidly becoming a relevant fantasy option, especially in deeper formats.

Since moving into the Jazz starting lineup on November 10, Bailey has averaged 13.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.1 three-pointers per game. That’s been suitable for 10th-round value in nine-cat formats, and the rookie is worth holding onto in deep leagues as long as he remains in the starting lineup. Bailey is rostered in 25 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and that number will only increase as the season progresses. The Jazz begin a three-game Week 6 on Monday against the Warriors.

Two days after scoring 20 points for the first time in his career, Bailey surpassed that mark, setting a new career-high for a second straight game. The No. 5 overall pick last summer, Bailey’s career got off to a slow start, but he’s really starting to figure things out. Currently rostered in just 28 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Bailey’s starting spot feels secure, so he should be worth rostering for the rest of the season.

Bailey has hit double figures in three straight games, but Tuesday’s performance was his best by far. The rookie notched his first 20-point game and was efficient in doing so, shooting over 50 percent from the field and only committing one turnover. While some fantasy managers may lament the lack of defensive stats, Bailey entered Tuesday with totals of six steals and one blocked shot. For now, hope that the rookie can continue to put forth efficient offensive outings in his new role.

Four of Utah’s five starters from Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves are unchanged. The lone change is Bailey, who replaces Isaiah Collier in the lineup to make his first career start. While the rookie hasn’t provided much fantasy value thus far, the opportunity to start raises his fantasy ceiling. That said, Bailey will be more valuable during the “silly season” than he is right now.
