Conley scored 19 points (8-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT) while adding nine assists, two rebounds and a steal in 35 minutes during Sunday's 88-79 win over the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
He missed his third straight double-double by a single assist, and Conley has looked rejuvenated since missing a couple of games in late December with a toe injury, averaging 21.2 points, 8.0 assists, 4.4 boards and 2.2 threes in his last five contests.

Conley finished with 27 points (10-19 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 12 assists, four rebounds and one steal across 41 minutes in a 128-119 overtime win over the Warriors on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Conley was instrumental in the Grizzlies' second-half comeback from a 24-point deficit, as he hit a 17-foot jumper with 7.4 seconds left in regulation to send the game to overtime, then hit another key bucket with less than a minute remaining in overtime. In addition, the point guard turned in his second 12-assist game in a row, resulting in a big night for those who rolled with him in DFS contests. The 29-year-old has shown no signs of being limited by the left big toe injury that sidelined him for two games in late December, as he's now averaging 21.8 points, 7.8 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 2.5 three-pointers per game in his four contests since returning.

Conley totaled 17 points (5-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 12 assists and seven rebounds across 36 minutes during a 115-106 loss to the Clippers on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Conley struggled to find his shot in the second half of a back-to-back, but was able to set up his teammates with a season-high 12 dimes. The 36 minutes tied the most he's received since Nov. 23 and he did still score 17 points, and has scored at least 17 in the last five games. Conley gets a matchup with Golden State on Friday.

Conley submitted 21 points (7-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four assists and one rebound across 32 minutes in a 116-102 loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Conley has turned in a pair of 20-point games since returning from a sprained left big toe, so it appears the injury isn't plaguing his production. It's not expected that Conley will face any limitations heading into the second half of a back-to-back set Wednesday against the Clippers, and he could be in line for another big night with Los Angeles likely to be without the services of their starting point guard and top perimeter defender in Chris Paul (hamstring).

Conley (toe) scored 22 points (8-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT) while adding eight rebounds, three assists and a block in 29 minutes during Saturday's 112-98 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
He missed Thursday's tilt against the Thunder due to a toe injury, but was able to play Saturday and drained three three-pointers for the fourth time in his last five games. Conley's missed 11 games already this season with various ailments, but when he's been on the court he's been productive, averaging career highs in points, boards and threes.

Conley (toe) will start Saturday against Sacramento.
EDGE Analysis
The point guard was initially deemed a game-time call due to a toe injury, but after going through warmups he'll return to action following a two-game absence. Conley likely won't be 100 percent, however, so if he's at all limited, Andrew Harrison would be in line for increased minutes.

Conley (toe) is on the court warming up prior to Saturday's game against the Kings, but his status remains uncertain, Rob Fischer of Sports 56 in Memphis reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley continues to nurse a toe issue, which has kept him out of each of the Grizzlies' last two games. A decision likely won't come until close to the 4:00 PM ET tip, and coach David Fizdale said if Conley is unable to go, Andrew Harrison would make another start in his place.

Conley (toe) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Conley has been held out of the Grizzlies' last two games with the left big toe injury, and it appears the team will wait until Saturday's morning shootaround before reevaluating the point guard. Andrew Harrison would be in line for another start if Conley ends up being ruled out for one more contest, while Tony Allen would also take on some increased ball-handling responsibilities.

Conley (toe) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Thunder, Brett Dawson of The Oklahoman reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach David Fizdale indicated earlier Thursday that he fully expected Conley to return to the lineup, but after going through warmups, it appears the discomfort will be too much to play through. With Conley out yet again, Andrew Harrison should draw another start at point guard, while Wade Baldwin, who was recently recalled from the D-League, should operate as the team's No. 2 option. Conley's next opportunity to play will be Saturday against the Kings.

Conley (toe) is officially being listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Thunder, Peter Fleischer of Fox 13 Memphis reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was reported earlier Thursday that coach David Fizdale expects Conley to play, so he's still trending towards being available despite this latest designation. He'll test out the injury during pregame warmups before giving a final word on his availability, but if he can't give it a go, Andrew Harrison would be expected to draw another start at point guard.
