Conley contributed 20 points (7-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five assists, four rebounds, and one steal in 29 minutes during the Grizzlies' 109-90 victory versus the Nets on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Conley stepped up in the Grizzlies' first game minus Marc Gasol (foot), and the speedy 28-year-old soon-to-be free agent point guard will likely be forced to take even more initiative on offense going forward. As a result, he could very well improve his per game averages and enjoy a modest boost in production--though his already shaky field goal percentage (41 percent) might remain fairly low on most nights thanks to the fact that he will be receiving more attention than normal from opposing defenses.

Conley scored 27 points (10-17 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and added three rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 33 minutes during the Grizzlies' 112-106 overtime loss to the Trail Blazers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Conley turned the ball over four times while dishing only three assists, but he did deliver a season-high 27 points on just 17 shot attempts. With Marc Gasol (foot) likely out for the Grizzlies' game on Wednesday versus the Nets, Conley and Zach Randolph can likely be counted on to provide offense on a team missing its number one option.

Conley went for 17 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 assists, four rebounds, one steal, and one block in 28 minutes during the Grizzlies' 110-95 win over the Pelicans on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Conley had scored in single digits during three of the previous six games. Apart from his assists, the Grizzlies' gritty point guard's production had been struggling for the most part over the last couple weeks. Nevertheless, Monday's showing was his fourth double-double of 2015-16, and his second since Jan. 18.

Conley finished with eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 FT), seven assists, four rebounds and a steal in Saturday's victory against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Conley was held scoreless until the 4:33 mark of the fourth quarter, taking just six shots all game. Memphis was up big early and relied heavily on Jeff Green (29 points) and Marc Gasol (22 points) for most of the first three quarters. The veteran point guard has been a mixed bag since his return from injury Jan. 18, dishing out 7.2 assists per game but averaging 11.5 points on just 36.9 percent shooting from the field.

Conley collected 20 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 8-10 FT), three rebounds, two assists and a steal over 27 minutes in Thursday's 102-101 victory over the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Conley was highly efficient in his second game back from the Achilles injury that kept him sidelined for six games earlier in January. As he was in his first game back on Monday, the veteran was aggressive in capitalizing on opportunities during his time on the court, visiting the charity stripe a season-high 10 times after not drawing any fouls against the Pelicans on Monday.After struggling with his shot in the two games prior to his injury, Conley has been locked in from the field in his first pair of contests back, shooting 52.3 percent (11-for-21) over that span.

Conley (Achilles) contributed 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt), 10 assists, and one rebound in 27 minutes during the Grizzlies' 101-99 win against the Pelicans on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Conley showed no signs of being slowed by an Achilles injury that sidelined him for the past six games. He did not turn the ball over, and notched his first double-double since Dec. 14 versus the Wizards. Meanwhile, Mario Chalmers scored three points and dished five assists in 21 minutes off the bench.

Conley (Achilles) has been cleared to start at point guard for Monday's game against the Pelicans, Rob Fischer of FOX Sports Southeast reports.
EDGE Analysis
After making it through pregame warmups without any apparent setbacks to his ailing left Achilles' tendon, Conley will make his return from a six-game absence. However, because Conley's status for Monday's game was in serious question entering the day, it seems quite likely that he'll face limited minutes in his return to action. If that's the case, backup point guard Mario Chalmers could still see plenty of playing time, but it shouldn't be long before Conley regularly surpasses 30 minutes on a regular basis.

The Grizzlies are "hoping" that Conley (Achilles) will be able to play Monday against the Pelicans, Ronald Tillery of the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley, who has missed the Grizzlies' last six games with a sore left Achilles, is officially being listed as a game-time decision for Monday's tilt. He's expected to go through pregame warmups before being reevaluated, and an announcement on his availability or lack thereof should come shortly before the game's 1:30 ET tip off. Even if Conley is available, there's a high probability he could come off the bench and face a minutes restriction, so he's not a recommended DFS play for the Monday slate.

Conley (Achilles) will be a game-time decision for Monday's matchup with the Pelicans, Chris Herrington of the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley will likely participate in pregame warmups before making a decision on whether or not to play, meaning an official decision should come within the next hour. He has missed six straight games with a sore left Achilles, giving Mario Chalmers a boost in minutes as he has taken over the starting point guard duties.

Conley (Achilles) is considered questionable to play Monday against the Pelicans, Ronald Tillery of The Commercial Appeal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley has missed the previous six games while dealing with a sore left Achilles and Monday will be the third time his status has been elevated to questionable ahead of the game. Mario Chalmers has seen extended opportunities during that time, and that could linger even beyond Conley's eventual return since the team may elect to ease him back into action.
