Let's give a shout out to rookie Ace Bailey.

Now, the Jazz probably aren't on anyone's radar at this point in the season, but that doesn't mean they aren't still playing games, okay?

And in those games, Ace Bailey has really started to shine.

Over his last five, he's averaging 25, 6, and 3, while shooting 41% on almost 12 three-pointers per game.

His best performance came in a game against Toronto, where Ace scored a career-high 37.

which included going seven of 10 from three.

The Jazz remain in the fifth spot in the reverse standings.

The only big movement this week was the Nets jumped the Wizards after the Wizards beat Ace Bailey and the Jazz.

Very cloudy right now and might be raining, but still very beautiful.
