Utah Jazz rookie Ace Bailey opens up about his welcome to the NBA moment under coach Will Hardy after an early-season benching.

Utah Jazz rookie Ace Bailey has put together a solid first season thus far, but he's also experienced a few "welcome to the NBA" moments.

Cade Cunningham led the way for the Pistons in Tuesday’s victory as he ended the game with 23 points, seven rebounds and 14 assists while Jalen Duren recorded 23 points, 13 rebounds and four assists. While both teams are looking to pick up a victory in Friday night’s matchup, both squads may be without multiple key players due to injuries.

• Harper, the No. 2 pick in the June draft, and Bailey, the No. 5 pick, were college teammates last season at Rutgers. They were the two highest picks in school history, and the first pair of Scarlet Knights teammates to be selected in the first round of the same draft.

Well, the Jazz’s defensive rating is second-to-last in the league, they allow the third most 3-pointers in the league, they allow the most 3-point makes in the league and they have the third-highest opponent 3-point percentage in the NBA. So, not great.

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George could have the chance at some unique NBA history vs. the Orlando Magic, if able to continue his recent hot hand as one of the league's top scorers of the past week.

Jamal Murray scored 27 points for the host Denver Nuggets, who opened the game with a 19-0 run on their way to a 135-112 win over the Utah Jazz on Monday night.
