Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Has nine assists in win
Rotowire
Conley racked up eight points (2-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and nine assists across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 127-108 win over the Bulls.
Conley dished out another nine assists, salvaging what was otherwise an underwhelming performance. Although he appears firmly entrenched in the starting lineup, it's fair to say that Conley has found the going a little tougher this season. Now aged 37, his best basketball is behind him, making him more of a role player than a vital piece of the puzzle.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Hits for 16 in return
Rotowire
Conley supplied 16 points (5-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and five assists across 34 minutes during Saturday's 105-103 loss to Washington.
After missing Minnesota's prior game with a minor thumb issue, Conley looked fine in his return. The 37-year-old point guard is an inconsistent scoring option at this stage of his career, producing double-digit points in only three of eight appearances since moving back into the starting five in mid-January, but he can still be an effective distributor. Over those eight contests, Conley is averaging 10.0 points, 5.1 assists, 2.5 boards, 2.3 threes and 1.4 steals in 27.9 minutes a game.

Rotowire
Conley put up 18 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight assists, five rebounds and two steals in 32 minutes of action during Wednesday's 115-114 win over the Mavericks.
The veteran guard recorded a season high in points, tied his season-high rebound mark and matched his second-highest assist total of the year in the narrow win. His efficiency from the field and behind the arc along with his pair of steals made Wednesday's performance a really well-rounded fantasy outing, one of his best this year. After coming off the bench for six straight games at the beginning of the month, Conley has played his way back into the starting lineup, and his fantasy value is reaping the benefits.

With Donte DiVincenzo (toe) sidelined Friday, Conley shifted back into the starting five and scored in double digits for only the second time in the last nine games. The 37-year-old point guard doesn't look like he has a lot left in the tank, averaging 6.3 points, 3.3 assists, 2.1 boards and 1.1 threes in 21.4 minutes during that span, and once DiVincenzo is ready to return, Conley will likely move back into a bench role.

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: 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.
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.
