   Peterson amassed 16 points (6-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Saturday's 112-90 loss to the Trail Blazers.

   The 16 points led the Jazz on the afternoon, as only two of his teammates even scored in double digits. Peterson is quickly getting the hang of this NBA thing after being the second overall pick in the 2026 Draft, scoring at least 14 points in four of the last five games while averaging 14.2 points, 4.4 boards, 2.8 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.2 steals, but his 35.2 percent shooting during that stretch indicates he still has plenty to work on.

   Peterson provided 18 points (4-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 117-111 overtime loss to San Antonio.

   Peterson struggled to find his rhythm from the field but compensated with three triples and a perfect showing at the charity stripe. The rookie displayed his scoring potential despite playing considerably fewer minutes than fellow starters Keyonte George and Ace Bailey. Peterson's perimeter shooting and ability to draw fouls should help support his fantasy value as he develops.
