Conley ended up with 22 points (8-23 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine assists, three rebounds and just two turnovers across 40 minutes in Monday's 91-90 loss against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Conley misfired on 15 shot attempts, and he has posted a disappointing 42.1 field-goal percentage (43-of-102) over his past six appearances. Despite the woeful shooting lately he continues to post decent point totals with a healthy amount of assists.

Conley scored 29 points (9-15 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT) to go along with six assists, one steal and one rebound across 37 minutes during Sunday's 106-94 loss to the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Conley took on an increased scoring role with Marc Gasol (foot) out of action, and although he led the team in that regard on the back of a strong shooting performance, he got little help from his teammates in the loss. Gasol's status has not yet been determined for Monday's matchup with the Kings, so Conley could carry another heavy workload if the former is forced to sit out once again.

Conley scored 22 points (7-18 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 7-7 FT) and added six assists and two rebounds over 36 minutes in Thursday's 97-90 loss to the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
On a night where the Spurs defense wore down Memphis throughout all four quarters, Conley was the one player to break through offensively. His scoring total was easily a team high and represented his fourth game with more than 20 points in the last six. His recent struggles from long distance persisted, however, as Conley has now shot just 28 percent (7-for-25) from behind the arc over the last four contests.

Conley collected 22 points (8-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 12 assists, four rebounds and one steal across 33 minutes during Thursday's 103-91 victory over the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Conley, who's quietly averaging 20.0 PPG on 40.6 percent shooting from beyond the arc this season, made easy work of the Hawks' guards Thursday when he posted his seventh double-double of the season. He's also shooting 51.0 percent to go along with 6.3 assists and 1.6 steals over the past 10 games, making him a top option at point guard in any fantasy format.

Conley posted 27 points (8-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 36 minutes in Wednesday's 98-91 win over the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Although Conley's had a few down games, Wednesday's matchup marks Conley's 35th consecutive game scoring in double digits. When you match that with Conley's 6.2 assists per game this season, he can produce some attractive stat lines for fantasy owners. He's had a great stretch in the past few weeks, averaging 23.1 points and 6.3 assists per game while shooting 51 percent from the field over the past 10 games. Conley should be considered in all formats and is a great cash play due to his dependable statistical floor week after week.

Conley scored 20 points (7-14 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT) with 10 assists, three steals and one rebound across 36 minutes in Monday's 113-93 win over the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Conley played right to his season-average in points as the Grizzlies coasted to their first win in their last six contests, and also recorded his first double-double since late-january. It wasn't all rosey for the veteran point guard though; he continues to struggle connecting from deep with just a 32.4 percent average on over just over six attempts per game through the first the first six games of March.

Conley registered 16 points (5-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five assists, one rebound and five steals over 32 minutes in Saturday's 107-90 loss to the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran point guard bounced back from an atypical 3-for-14 shooting night against the Clippers on Thursday to shoot 41.7 percent from the field, although he continued to scuffle from three-point range. Conley is now 1-for-11 from behind the arc over the last two contests, but he helped considerably boost his fantasy numbers Saturday with a season-high five steals. Given his past body of work, the current shooting struggles seem to represent a temporary rough patch that the 29-year-old is bound to snap out of in the near future. A stellar first three games of March has his monthly averages at 22.8 points, 5.2 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals across 36.4 minutes.

Conley collected 13 points (3-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four assists, three rebounds, and one steal across 36 minutes during Thursday's 114-98 loss to the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Coach David Fizdale switched up his starting five for the second straight game Thursday, inserting James Ennis in place of Chandler Parsons, after he replaced Tony Allen and JaMychal Green with Andrew Harrison and Brandan Wright the previous game. Though Conley wasn't slowed down by the change Monday against Nets -- who hold the NBA's worst record -- he struggled against the playoff-bound Clippers and the veteran defensive presence of Chris Paul. Conley has been having a career year, averaging 20.1 points and 6.2 assists across 33.1 minutes per game, but it's unclear how he'll deal with this wrench that coach Fizdale has thrown at him.

Conley collected 32 points (9-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 11-14 FT), six assists, three rebounds and one steal across 39 minutes in Monday's 122-109 loss to the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Conley has been on a personal tear over the last five games, averaging right around 28.5 points per game over that span. He has led the team in scoring in each of those contests, but only has two wins to show for it after dropping three in a row. Conley will look to be more of a facilitator in their next game out as wins matter more than stats for a team dropping quickly in the powerful Western Conference.

Conley finished with 30 points (9-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 9-10 FT) while adding four assists, two rebounds and a steal across 36 minutes in Friday's 104-100 win against the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Conley is averaging 30.0 points per game over his past three outings. He entered the season with just five games of 30 or more points in his first nine NBA season but he has hit the plateau on seven different occasions this season. He has emerged as a fantasy star this season.
