Conley accumulated eight points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five rebounds, 10 assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 134-124 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Conley came into Wednesday hitting double-digit points in five of the last six games and had dished out 39 assists to just four turnovers during that span. He managed only eight points on the night, but the veteran ball handler dished out 10 dimes against Portland, marking his first double-digit performance since Jan. 5. His assist-to-turnover ratio has given him some value this season in nine-category leagues.

Jazz's Mike Conley: Hot streak continues
Rotowire
Conley chipped in 17 points (6-8 FG, 5-6 3Pt), four rebounds, nine assists and one block across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 126-103 victory over the Clippers.
With Wednesday's performance, the veteran has scored double-digit points in four straight games -- just the second time all season that he's achieved the feat. Fantasy managers in nine-category leagues are also benefiting from Conley's ball control, as he has 23 assists and zero turnovers over the past three games. He should be rostered, or at least streamed, in most 12-team fantasy leagues.

Jazz's Mike Conley: Slated to play Saturday
Rotowire
Conley (rest) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game versus the 76ers, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Conley predictably will make his return to the floor after getting a night off to rest on the front end of the back-to-back set Friday. He should resume his duties as the Jazz's starting point guard, sending Nickeil Alexander-Walker back to the bench.

Jazz's Mike Conley: Sitting out against Orlando
Rotowire
Conley is out for Friday's game versus the Magic due to rest, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Conley will rest on the first night of Utah's back-to-back. Collin Sexton will likely enter the starting lineup in his absence. The veteran Conley should be good to go for Saturday's matchup with Philadelphia.

Jazz's Mike Conley: Quiet again in loss
Rotowire
Conley recorded seven points (3-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Sunday's 123-118 loss to the Grizzlies.
Conley struggled again in the loss, scoring in single digits for the fourth time in his last five games. He has been able to maintain strong assist numbers, putting up at least seven dimes in each of his past seven games, somewhat salvaging what has been a rough period. He is the 187th-ranked player over the past month, and while he is probably a must-roster player, his offensive woes do mean he isn't going to be for everyone.

Jazz's Mike Conley: Contributes across board in loss
Rotowire
Conley finished with 18 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven assists, three steals and one rebound across 33 minutes in Tuesday's 117-115 loss to the Kings.
Conley's scoring production has been all over the map of late, but he's continued to provide assists at a career-best rate (7.5 per game) while making a regular contribution in the steals column. Considering that Conley is shooting 38.7 percent from the field for the season -- well below his career 43.8 percent rate -- he should be a candidate to see his scoring increase to some degree as the season rolls along.

Jazz's Mike Conley: Goes for 17 points in loss
Rotowire
Conley racked up 17 points (4-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Friday's 126-125 loss to the Kings.
Conley had a quiet first half with just six points on 2-of-5 shooting from the field to go along with four assists. He knocked down only two more shots in the second half on six attempts but still managed another 11 points after going 5-of-6 from the free-throw line. The Jazz point guard has reached the 17-point mark in two of his last three games, while his six free-throw attempts in the contest matched a season high.

Jazz's Mike Conley: Dishes out 10 dimes
Rotowire
Conley chipped in five points (2-11 FG, 1-8 3Pt), two rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 112-107 loss to Golden State.
After dropping 17 points during Monday's loss to the Spurs, Conley was quite inefficient from the floor against the Warriors on Wednesday. He's started the last eight matchups but has been held to single-digit scoring totals in seven of those appearances, and he's averaged 7.4 points and 6.8 rebounds in 29.0 minutes per game over that stretch.

Jazz's Mike Conley: Posts well-rounded stat line Monday
Rotowire
Conley totaled 17 points (6-12 FG, 5-7 3Pt), five rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals across 33 minutes during Monday's 126-122 loss to the Spurs.
Conley did a little bit of everything for Utah in the loss, finishing third on the team in scoring, first in assists and tied for third in rebounds. The veteran point guard also racked up three steals and even swatted a shot, recording his first block since mid-November. This was a much-needed bounce-back performance for Conley, who averaged just 6.2 points on 31.8 percent shooting from the field over his previous six contests entering Monday.

Jazz's Mike Conley: Struggles continue Thursday
Rotowire
Conley provided eight points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and six assists in 27 minutes during Thursday's 120-112 victory over Washington.
Conley fell short of the mark again Thursday, failing to score in double digits for the sixth consecutive game. While his assist numbers have been adequate, his lack of supporting stats are causing a major headache for managers. He could be viewed as a possible buy-low candidate, although whether he is able to turn things around remains a very real question. In certain situations, there is certainly a case to be made for streaming his position.

Jazz's Mike Conley: Can't find shot Thursday
Rotowire
Conley amassed four points (1-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-6 FT), two rebounds and six assists across 32 minutes during Thursday's 132-129 overtime win over the Pelicans.
Conley didn't shoot efficiently in either of the two games versus the Raptors, finishing with a combined 11 points between the contests while converting just three of his 16 attempts. He managed to rack up six assists in each contest, but Conley needs to pick it up in other areas to be a worthwhile fantasy option. Conley is just a few games removed from a lengthy absence due to a leg injury, so he could still be shedding some rust.

Jazz's Mike Conley: Quiet in blowout win
Rotowire
Conley posted seven points (2-8 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 121-100 victory over the Pelicans.
The Jazz handled the Pelicans with relative ease, but it was a mostly quiet night for the veteran guard, who made his return to action after sitting out Saturday's game at Denver on the second night of a back-to-back. Conley had previously missed a string of nine straight games from Nov. 21 to Dec. 7 due to a lower-leg injury.

Jazz's Mike Conley: Returns to starting five
Rotowire
Conley is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus New Orleans, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Conley will return to the starting lineup after missing 10 of the last 11 games due to a lower-body injury. The veteran point guard came off the bench and played 25 minutes in his return to action last Friday before sitting out again Saturday. Conley will start Tuesday and play without a minutes restriction.

Conley is in the starting lineup Wednesday against New Orleans, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Jazz's Mike Conley: Without minutes restriction Tuesday
Rotowire
Jazz coach Will Hardy said Conley won't have a set minutes limit in Tuesday's matchup with the Pelicans, Ben Anderson of KSLsports reports.
Conley made his return last Friday from a nine-game absence due to a lower-body injury before resting for the second leg of a back-to-back Sunday. However, the veteran guard won't have any restrictions Tuesday, as he played only 25 minutes against Minnesota. Conley is averaging 29.0 minutes across 18 games this season.

Jazz's Mike Conley: Getting rest day Saturday
Rotowire
Conley will take a rest day Saturday versus the Nuggets, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
Conley returned from a nine-game absence Friday following a lower-body injury, posting 17 points, six assists and a rebound over 25 minutes off the bench in a 118-108 loss to the Timberwolves. It's not surprising the veteran point guard will get a night off in the second game of a back-to-back set, but he should be back on the floor Tuesday versus the Pelicans. Jordan Clarkson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker are the primary candidates to see time on the ball Saturday, as Collin Sexton (hamstring) is joining Conley on the sideline.

Jazz's Mike Conley: Will come off bench Friday
Rotowire
Conley, who's returning to action following a nine-game absence due to a lower-body injury, will come off the bench and be a on a minutes restriction during Friday's matchup against Minnesota, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Conley is set to make his first appearance since Nov. 19 following a prolonged absence due to a lower-body injury. The veteran isn't quite ready to handle a starting role, so with Collin Sexton (hamstring) out, Jordan Clarkson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker will start in Utah's backcourt. Before the injury, Conley posted 10.9 points, 8.2 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 30.5 minutes per game, but he may be a risky fantasy play while he works his way back to full strength.

Jazz's Mike Conley: Good to go Friday
Rotowire
Conley (lower leg) has been cleared to take the floor Friday versus the Timberwolves, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.
Conley is set to rejoin the action following an extended period on the sideline, last suiting up Nov. 19 against the Trail Blazers. He should be in for a healthy workload in this one with Collin Sexton (hamstring) out, though the team could opt to ease the veteran back in a bit, given his lengthy layoff. If that's the case, Jordan Clarkson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker would be candidates to see some additional run at point guard.

Jazz's Mike Conley: Expects to play Friday
Rotowire
Conley (lower leg) anticipates playing in Friday's game versus the Timberwolves Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Conley is officially questionable to take the floor, but the veteran indicated Friday that he intends to play, especially with Collin Sexton (hamstring) missing the contest. Conley should log a healthy amount of action at point guard, assuming his leg holds up, with Jordan Clarkson likely figuring to occasionally relieve him on the ball.

Jazz's Mike Conley: Questionable to return Friday
Rotowire
Conley (lower leg) is listed as questionable for Friday's contest against the Timberwolves, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
After missing the Jazz's last nine games with a lower leg injury, the veteran guard could make his return to the floor Friday against the Timberwolves. With Conley questionable and Collin Sexton (hamstring) ruled out, expect Jordan Clarkson and Malik Beasley to see an uptick in minutes. The 35-year-old's next chance to see the court would be Saturday against Denver if he's unable to go Friday.
