Conley provided eight points (3-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 22 minutes in Wednesday's 101-89 preseason loss to the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran point guard upped his minutes total once again but continued struggling with his shot, with Wednesday marking his third game in as many exhibitions with sub-40 percent shooting. The 11-year veteran has come up empty on seven attempts from three-point range this preseason as well, but he's been able to offer some decent production on the boards and in assists. Despite some of the aforementioned early difficulties, Conley should once again be an above-average source of all-around production as a focal point of the Grizzlies offense in the coming season.

Conley (rest) will play in Monday's preseason game against Atlanta, Michael Wallace of Grizzlies.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley was held out of Wednesday's game against the 76ers for rest. It's not surprising that the Grizzlies are playing it safe with their star point guard since Conley has only been able to play more than 70 games in three of the past seven seasons.

Conley will not play during Wednesday's game against the 76ers for rest purposes, Michael Wallace of Grizzlies.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Grizzlies are seemingly just playing it safe with their franchise cornerstone point guard in the preseason. Conley is fully expected to play Monday against the Hawks, however.

Conley scored four points (2-6 FG, 0-2 FT) while adding two rebounds, an assist and a block in 15 minutes during Monday's preseason win over the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
He helped provide some veteran stability to a patchwork Grizzlies lineup that was missing four key players, before handing things off to Mario Chalmers and the bench. Conley is coming off a season in which he averaged a career-high 20.5 points and 2.5 three-pointers while failing to top 70 games played for the third straight campaign, making the 29-year-old's ability to stay healthy the critical factor in his fantasy value.

Conley put up 26 points (7-18 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 9-10 FT), five assists, two rebounds and one steal across 45 minutes Thursday in a 103-96 loss to the Spurs in Game 6 of the series.
EDGE Analysis
Conley's scoring haul was tops on the Grizzlies, but his poor shooting in the first quarter took a bigger night off the table and may have been the difference between Memphis extending the series to seven games and being eliminated. Though the Grizzlies will exit in the first round at the hands of the Spurs for the second straight season, Conley can hold his head high after turning in 20-plus points in the final five games of the series, marking the longest streak in franchise postseason history.

Conley totaled 26 points (10-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six assists, four steals, two rebounds and one block across 35 minutes during a 116-103 loss to the Spurs on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Conley kept up his torrid pace in the series as his 26 points were a team high. Tuesday's game marked the fourth consecutive game in the series that he has scored at least 24 points. His four steals were the most he's had so far in the series. Conley's offense is superb right now, as he's averaging 24.4 points per game in the series on 50.6 percent shooting.

Conley erupted for 35 points (13-23 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-7 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 42 minutes in Saturday's 110-108 overtime win over the Spurs in Game 4 of the series.
EDGE Analysis
Conley's performance may have been overshadowed by the Spurs' Kawhi Leonard -- who churned out 43 points, including the San Antonio's last 16 points of regulation -- but the point guard couldn't have picked a better time to turn in the best postseason performance of his career. After scoring just 13 points on 5-of-14 shooting in the series opener, Conley has been a nightmare for the Spurs in the last three contests, averaging 27.7 points and 8.0 dimes while shooting 51.9 percent from the field and 47.6 percent from three-point range.

Conley posted 24 points (7-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT), eight assists and one rebound over 34 minutes during Thursday's 105-94 win over the Spurs in Game 3 of the Western Conference first-round playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran point guard produced an identical point total to the one he'd managed in Game 2 and led all scorers in the process. Conley has shot a combined 15-for-31 over the last two games, including a 6-of-13 tally from behind the arc. Given his prominent role in the Grizzlies offense, heavy usage is all but a certainty for the 29-year-old for the duration of Memphis' postseason run.

Conley totaled 24 points (8-18 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight assists, one rebound, one steal and one block across 38 minutes during a 96-82 loss to the Spurs on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Conley bounced back from an off performance in Game 1 to rack up a team high in points and assists in the loss. More performances like this should one be expected from Conley through the rest of the series, as he averaged 20.5 points and 6.3 assists per game during the regular season.

Conley scored 15 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT) while adding three assists, two rebounds and one steal across 23 minutes during Sunday's 103-90 loss to the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
Conley led the team in scoring thanks to an efficient shooting performance, but his limited allotment of minutes still caused his stat line to fall well short of his season averages. The veteran could face a similar minutes restriction in the finale, if he is used at all, so fantasy owners might want to explore other options in search of guard production over the season's final days.
