Conley won't play in Monday's game against the Hornets due to rest.
EDGE Analysis
Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch added that the veteran point guard is also dealing with hamstring tightness, but Conley's absence Monday is being classified as a maintenance day, per Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports. Conley will miss just his second game of the season, but he'll likely return to action Wednesday in Washington, which marks the first half of a back-to-back set. The last time Conley was sidelined Jan. 10 in Boston, Nickeil Alexander-Walker entered the starting five in his stead.

Conley racked up 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds, 10 assists and two steals over 30 minutes during Thursday's 118-103 victory over Memphis.
EDGE Analysis
Conley led all players in Thursday's contest in assists while adding a team-high-tying steals mark. He ended as one of six Timberwolves with a double-digit point total en route to a double-double. Conley has dished out 10 or more assists in five games this year, finishing with a double-double in four of those five outings. Three of those five double-digit assist games have occurred over his last five games.

EDGE Analysis
Conley led all players in Friday's contest in assists while ending one point short of a double-double while returning after missing the previous game due to rest.

Conley will be rested for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Wednesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, and Conley played 31 minutes Tuesday night against the Magic. The veteran has been in a slump and was probably in need of a maintenance day, as he's averaging 8.0 points on 41.2 percent shooting in five January appearances. With Conley out, there could be more opportunities for guys like Jordan McLaughlin and Nickeil Alexander-Walker.

Conley totaled eight points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds and five assists over 25 minutes during Friday's 122-95 win over the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Conley continued to struggle Friday, scoring fewer than 10 points for the third straight game. He has been outside the top 100 over the past week, buoyed primarily by his 6.5 assists per game. Although his upside is basically non-existent at this point in his career, Conley has quietly been a must-roster player all season. As long as scoring is not high on your list of priorities, Conley should remain a viable asset moving forward.

Conley closed with 15 points (4-11 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Saturday's 108-106 victory over the Lakers. He had one turnover.
EDGE Analysis
Conley has racked up a stout 34:5 AST:TO ratio over his last five games. Offensively, he did all of his damage from beyond the arc, extending a league-leading streak of 41 consecutive games with at least one made three. The 17-year veteran is amid a renaissance season, shooting a career-high 46.4 percent from the field.

Conley recorded 17 points (6-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and two steals across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 129-106 loss to the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Conley led all Timberwolves in threes made while finishing second on the team and as one of four players with a double-digit point total to go along with four assists. Conley has connected on five or more threes in two games this season and has posted 15 or more points on six occasions, including in two of his last three outings.

Conley chipped in 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt), one rebound, eight assists, one block and two steals across 30 minutes during Thursday's 118-111 win over the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
The 36-year-old point guard had a bumpy start to his first full season with Minnesota, but Conley appears to have found a groove, scoring in double digits in seven of the last nine games. Thus far in December, Conley has averaged 14.0 points, 6.4 assists, 2.7 boards, 2.6 threes and 0.9 steals while shooting 50.6 percent from the floor, 46.9 percent from beyond the arc and 92.0 percent from the free-throw line. Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) left Thursday's game early, and if his injury proves to be serious, Conley could be needed to help fill the hole on offense left by the big man's absence.
