Conley struggled to get anything going in the loss but was certainly not alone in that discussion. The Timberwolves were soundly beaten and likely need to be much better should they hope to make this an interesting series. A proven veteran, Conley will look to bounce back in Game 2 on Wednesday.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Delivers double-double
Rotowire
Conley racked up 24 points (6-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 9-9 FT), 11 assists, four rebounds, two steals and one block across 32 minutes during Monday's 140-134 win over the Knicks.
Conley stepped up for the shorthanded Timberwolves, delivering his first double-double since arriving in Minnesota at the trade deadline. With Anthony Edwards (ankle) on the sideline, Conley shouldered more of the offensive load, both in terms of scoring and facilitating. He has been a top-40 player in nine-category leagues on a per-game basis over the past two weeks, and with Minnesota pushing hard for the playoffs, Conley should be able to maintain comfortable 12-team value rest of season even once Edwards is back in the fold.

Rotowire

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Limited output in debut
Rotowire
Conley registered nine points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, three assists and two steals over 26 minutes during Friday's 128-107 loss to the Grizzlies.
Conley made his Timberwolves debut but failed to make an impact, failing to reach double-digit scoring figures and not contributing in a major way in other categories, either. His numbers should improve as the season progresses and as he gets used to his new teammates, but he's not expected to put up the same numbers D'Angelo Russell was delivering for Minnesota before the trade.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Starting in debut
Rotowire
Conley will get the start at point guard in Friday's game against the Grizzlies.
Conley was traded to Minnesota on Thursday as part of a three-team deal and will immediately replace the departing D'Angelo Russell at point guard.

The veteran figures to replace D'Angelo Russell as Minnesota's starting point guard, but it remains to be seen how much usage he'll get with his new team.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Questionable to debut Friday
Rotowire
Conley (trade pending) is questionable to make his Timberwolves debut on Friday.
Once he passes his physical, the veteran figures to start at the vacated point guard spot made available by the Wolves dealing D'Angelo Russell to the Lakers in the three-team trade that brought Conley from Utah. With Minnesota, Conley should continue focusing on distribution, as he's averaging a career-high 7.7 assists per game and is joining a team with a potent scorer in Anthony Edwards, and Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) will eventually return. Fantasy managers rostering Conley should have no concerns about his value.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Headed to Minnesota
Rotowire
The Timberwolves acquired Conley from the Jazz on Wednesday in a three-team trade that also involves the Lakers, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Along with Conley, the Timberwolves received Nickeil Alexander-Walker and second-round picks in 2024, 2025 and 2026, while Utah takes back Russell Westbrook, Damian Jones, Juan Toscano-Anderson and a 2027 first-round draft pick. The Lakers, meanwhile, will add D'Angelo Russell, Jarred Vanderbilt and Malik Beasley. With the move to Minnesota, Conley should slot into the starting point guard role vacated by Russell, so his value shouldn't dramatically change while he plays alongside another high-usage wing in Anthony Edwards, much like he did in Utah with Lauri Markkanen. As for Utah, Westbrook will most likely be bought out in the coming days, leaving Collin Sexton as the likely candidate to replace Conley in the Jazz's starting five.

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.

Conley (rest) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game versus the 76ers, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Conley is out for Friday's game versus the Magic due to rest, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
