Contrary to an earlier report, Conley will remain in Utah's starting lineup, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
It turns out Conley will stick in the starting five while Joe Ingles moves to a bench role in favor of Royce O'Neale. The veteran Conley has started 28 of his 34 appearances this season, averaging 14.3 points, 3.6 rebounds and 4.6 assists in 29.7 minutes in those contests.

Conley has been pulled from Utah's starting five and will be replaced by Royce O'Neale, Shams Charania and Tony Jones of The Athletic report.
EDGE Analysis
Jazz coaches believe that O'Neale's defensive presence works best in the starting five, with the move also allowing Joe Ingles to take on a bigger role in the offense. The decision is one that reflects how poorly Conley's fit has been with the Jazz thus far. He's shooting just 39.4 percent from the field, and the team has been 4.1 points per 100 possessions better with him off the court. Conley is still expected to retain a significant role in the offense, helping run the second unit.

Conley finished with eight points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt) one assist and three turnovers in 22 minutes during Monday's 131-111 loss to the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
After scoring at least 10 points in Utah's seven prior games, Conley failed to display much offensive initiative Monday. That, in addition to the complete contrast with his versatile outing on Saturday resulted in a dud for fantasy owners. That being said, Conley didn't see much court time, and his role down the stretch lacks clarity at the moment. Ricky Rubio (22 points, 11 dimes, seven steals) got the last laugh over Conley and the Jazz in this revenge game.

Conley played 34 minutes and finished with 13 points (5-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and seven assists Saturday in the Jazz's 120-110 loss to the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Conley was making his first appearance since Feb. 9 after he rested in the Jazz's final game of the first half and then missed Wednesday's win over the Heat with an illness before sitting out the front end of the back-to-back set Friday against the Spurs for rest purposes. The Jazz will likely continue to hold Conley out for one half of back-to-back sets over the final two months of the season, but he should otherwise be in store for a 30-plus-minute role on the occasions he plays.

Conley (illness) won't play Wednesday against Miami, Tony Parks of 1280 The Zone reports.
EDGE Analysis

Conley is considered questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Heat due to an illness.
EDGE Analysis
Conley missed Monday's game against the Mavericks for rest purposes, as it was the second night of a back-to-back set. He is now in danger of missing his second straight. More clarity on his status should come closer to tip-off.

Conley will be rested for Monday's game against the Mavericks, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Jazz come in on the second night of a back-to-back, and they'll give Conley the night off in an effort to stave off any injury concerns after he missed extended time earlier this season. Conley had started the previous four contests, and he's coming off of a 20-point, five-rebound, six-assist effort in Sunday's win over the Rockets.

Conley posted 20 points (8-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six assists and five rebounds in 34 minutes during Utah's 114-113 win over the Rockets on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Conley returned to the Jazz in mid-January, proceeding to average 8.8 points without exceeding 25 minutes in an outing. The beginning of February has turned a new leaf for Conley, who has played at least 30 minutes in all four contests and is generating over 20 points per game. Utah still turns to Royce O'Neal in crunch time, but that could change as Conley continues ramping up.
