Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Continues to trend down Monday
Rotowire
Conley totaled seven points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block over 20 minutes during Monday's 120-106 victory over the Wizards.
Conley continues to trend down from a fantasy perspective, failing to reach double figures in scoring in his fourth straight contest. The veteran floor general is averaging 7.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.2 threes in 22.0 minutes across his past five outings since being moved to Minnesota's bench. With Donte DiVincenzo playing well since heading to the first unit, Conley is starting to become a fringe hold in shallow fantasy leagues with diminished upside while with the second unit.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Coming off bench Monday
Rotowire
Conley is not in the Timberwolves' starting lineup against the Clippers on Monday.
Conley is averaging a career-low 8.0 points per game this season and is coming off a zero-point outing in a 119-105 loss to the Pistons on Saturday. Minnesota will shake things up Monday by having Donte DiVincenzo enter the starting lineup, and it's not clear if Conley's move to the bench is long term.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Ties season-high scoring mark
Rotowire
Conley amassed 16 points (5-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, four assists and two steals across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 113-105 loss to the Thunder.
Conley bounced back from a couple of subpar showings, as he had scored three points and five points, respectively, in tight wins over the Rockets and Spurs. This 16-point outing matched his best scoring mark of the campaign. However, he's scored in double digits just three times over his last nine outings, so his fantasy upside remains extremely low across all formats.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Continues trending down
Rotowire
Conley logged five points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and three assists across 23 minutes during Sunday's 112-110 victory over the Spurs.
Father Time might be creeping up on the veteran point guard, as Conley hasn't made much of an offensive impact for the Timberwolves. He has scored in double figures only 11 times this season, which isn't ideal for Minnesota.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Another single-digit scoring effort
Rotowire
Conley provided three points (1-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Saturday's 113-103 loss to Golden State.
Saturday marked four straight games with single-digit points for Conley, who had attained double-digit scoring figures in five of his previous six outings before falling into this current dry spell. Overall, Conley is averaging 9.1 points, 4.4 assists, 2.6 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 2.1 three-pointers per game while shooting 38.2 percent from three-point range over his last 10 contests. There's no indication the Timberwolves are ready for any sort of shake-up at point guard in their starting lineup, despite Conley shooting a career-low 33.7 percent from the floor on the campaign as a whole, so the veteran floor general should remain a solid source of dimes, triples and swipes for fantasy purposes as long as he's riding with Minnesota's starting five.

Rotowire
Conley provided 12 points (3-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Sunday's 114-106 loss to Golden State.
Conley is averaging only 25.5 minutes per game this season, but he's still managed to keep his value afloat in fantasy formats. Through his first 19 regular-season appearances, he's on pace to post 10th-round value in nine-category formats with 9.1 points, 4.4 assists, 2.9 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 2.0 three-pointers.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Conley (toe) is out for Sunday's game against the Celtics.
Conley is dealing with a sprained toe on his left foot, and while the injury shouldn't turn into a long-term absence, it'll be enough to sideline him for a second straight game. His absence will probably translate to Nickeil Alexander-Walker remaining as the starting point guard, while Donte DiVincenzo will likely see an uptick in playing time off the bench as well. Conley's next chance to play will come against the Rockets on Tuesday.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Dealing with toe sprain
Rotowire
Conley is questionable for Thursday's game against the Raptors due to a left great toe sprain.
This is a new injury for the veteran, whose only absence this season was attributed to rest purposes during the second night of a back-to-back set. Donte DiVincenzo (back) is also questionable, so if both guards are sidelined, Nickeil Alexander-Walker would likely be in store for a major workload against Toronto.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Posts double-double Thursday
Rotowire
Conley registered 14 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and 11 assists across 26 minutes during Thursday's 135-119 win over the Bulls.
Conley delivered his best game of the season Thursday after notching season-high marks in both points and assists. Even though the veteran is a capable starter and an excellent distributor, this was his first game with more than six dimes on the campaign, so this kind of output may not be sustainable on a long-term basis. The numbers aren't flashy by any means, but Conley has now scored at least nine points in five of his last six games.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Struggles in season debut
Rotowire
Conley provided five points (1-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 110-103 loss to the Lakers.
Conley didn't take a shot in the first half and was generally uninvolved on both sides of the ball. He ended up taking a seat for good early in the fourth quarter and was replaced by Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who had a more productive game overall. Conley's job is safe for now, but continued struggles could send more court time Alexander-Walker's way.
