Conley registered 23 points (7-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five assists and two steals across 31 minutes during a 110-91 win over the Suns on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Conley found his shooting touch Wednesday after he had shot below 45 percent in the three previous outings as he scored a game-high 23 points. He knocked in at least four treys in a game for the sixth time so far this season. Conley's 40.7 three-point shooting percentage so far this season is on pace to be a career best for the 10th-year point guard.

Conley managed to finish with 12 points (3-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT) while posting nine assists, two rebounds and two steals with a blocked shot over 35 minutes in Monday's 89-74 win against the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Conley has struggled from the floor over the past three games, hitting just 15 of his past 42 (.357) field goal attempts. The veteran remains a must-start fantasy option, as he still has 17 assists over the past two outings despite his shooting woes.

Conley submitted 20 points (5-16 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 10-12 FT), eight assists and three rebounds over 36 minutes in Saturday's 107-99 win over the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
With Marc Gasol, Tony Allen and Chandler Parsons all sitting for rest, Conley's usage was unsurprisingly through the roof, but he wasn't very efficient overall. However, despite tallying an unsightly 31.3 percent success rate from the field, the veteran point guard remained highly aggressive, with his 12 shot attempts representing a season high. The 10-year pro did see a streak of 17 games with at least one three-pointer come to an end, but reached the 20-point mark for the third time in the last five contests.

Conley finished with 18 points (7-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists, four rebounds and one steal in 26 minutes Wednesday during a 119-99 win over the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Conley lit it up in the first half, scoring 16 points in 14 minutes. By the time the third quarter came to a close, the game was already out of reach, which is why Conley, averaging 32.4 minutes a game this season, played only 26 minutes. He'll get one day of rest before Friday's matchup against Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Conley scored a career-high 38 points (12-18 FG, 7-10 3Pt, 7-8 FT) to go along with nine assists, six rebounds and two steals over 33 minutes in Monday's 115-96 win against the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Conley has knocked down three or more 3-pointers in each of his past three outings, averaging 26.0 points, 7.3 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.7 steals during the span. He has knocked down at least one triple in 15 straight games since returning from a toe injury in late December. Conley is 100 percent healthy again, and he is back as a bona fide No. 1 fantasy guard across all formats.

Conley submitted 23 points (9-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals across 28 minutes in Saturday's 102-95 win over the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Conley led the first unit in both shot attempts and scoring against the stingy Jazz defense, posting his first 20-point effort since Jan. 18 in the process. His assists were down as a result, but the Grizzlies benefited from Conley getting more directly involved on the offensive end. The veteran guard bounced back from a three-game stretch during which he'd shot just 30.6 percent (15-for-49) from the floor. Factoring in Saturday's production, Conley is now averaging 19.5 points, 7.5 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.2 steals across 13 January contests.

Conley turned in 17 points (5-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 10 assists, three rebounds and one steal across 36 minutes in a 112-109 loss to the Trail Blazers on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Conley's production has hit the skids a bit recently, and while his field-goal percentage didn't recover Friday, the matchup with a Blazers squad that ranks in the bottom five in the league in terms of defensive efficiency at least helped him take advantage as a distributor. The 10 assists were his most since Jan. 6, as Conley rolled to his fifth double-double of the campaign. Conley may not find as much success in the second half of the back-to-back set Saturday against the Jazz, as he'll likely be matched up most of the evening with George Hill, a significant upgrade on the defensive end from the Blazers' Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum.

Conley went for 11 points (4-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists, three rebounds and one steal across 36 minutes during a 101-99 victory against the Raptors on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 11 points for Conley were his lowest total since Dec. 21 when he scored nine against the Pistons. In contrast to red-hot teammate Marc Gasol, Conley is stuck in a bit of a cold spell on the offensive end. In his last four games, he is shooting just 35.6 percent from the field. He'll get a better matchup Friday against the Trail Blazers as he looks to get his shot going.

Conley scored 17 points (7-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and added nine assists, six rebounds, two steals and a block in 39 minutes during a 110-105 win against the Rockets on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Conley tore up the Rockets with his jitterbug mastery of the pick-and-roll. He skirted around hedging bigs to get in the teeth of the defense, and knocked down pull-up jumpers whenever someone went under a screen on him. He's on a roll now, scoring at least 17 points in every game since December 21st.

COnley posted 22 points (8-20 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six assists, four rebounds and three steals across 36 minutes in Wednesday's 103-95 loss to the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Conley has been humming since the New Year, posting averages of 21.2 points and 8.6 rebounds in his five games since the start of 2017, but what's most encouraging is his apparent health. He is averaging 36 minutes per game in January, up more than seven minutes from when he returned from injury to close out December.
