Conley (Achilles) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Ronald Tillery of the Commercial Appeal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley continues to battle back from an Achilles injury, but it's now expected to cost him a second consecutive game. With Courtney Lee also doubtful for Friday, the starting backcourt will likely feature Mario Chalmers and Tony Allen. Chalmers played over 38 minutes during Wednesday's game and nearly triple-doubled, so expect him to see another large bump in minutes Friday in Conley's absence. If he does sit out, Conley's next opportunity to take the court will be Sunday against the Celtics.

Conley (Achilles) will not suit up for Wednesday's tilt in Oklahoma City, Ronald Tillery of The Commercial Appeal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley was dealing with a sore lower back, and now has added a sore Achilles to his injury situation. Conley was a true game-time decision headed into Wednesday evening, and the Grizzlies will opt to rest him. His next opportunity to suit up will be Friday versus Denver. Expect an update on his status once more information becomes available.

Conley is dealing with a sore left Achilles and has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Ronald Tillery of the Commercial Appeal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley was just getting over a lower back strain that limited in Monday's win over the Trail Blazers. The All-Star point guard didn't look like himself Monday, clearly bothered by the back injury. Add a sore Achilles to the mix for Wednesday's game and there is a good chance Conley spends the night on the sidelines. However, he is one of the toughest players in the league and has yet to miss a game this season. If Wednesday is the night he breaks his streak, expect Mario Chalmers to pick up the start.

Conley (back) contributed nine points (3-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four assists, and two rebounds in 26 minutes during the Grizzlies' 91-78 win versus the Trail Blazers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Conley wasn't himself on Monday, and his back was clearly still bothering him despite the fact that he started and saw 26 minutes. It might be wise for coach Dave Joerger to rest his All-Star caliber point guard, especially considering the big picture, but at this point it seems that Conley is intent on playing through the pain. Over the last five games, Conley has averages of 15.6 points (37.5 FG, 37.5 3Pt, 75.0 FT), five assists, 3.4 rebounds, 1.6 steals, and 0.4 blocks in 32 minutes per night.

Conley (back) will play Monday against Portland, Ronald Tillery of The Commercial Appeal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley was considered questionable heading into Monday with an undisclosed back injury but apparently it wasn't severe enough to ultimately miss any time off the court. If the injury flares up during the game, expect Mario Chalmers to take over at point.

Conley (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Ronald Tillery of The Commercial Appeal reports.
EDGE Analysis
The extent of the injury is still relatively unknown, although more details should surface as game-time approaches. Conley participated in Saturday's loss to the Jazz, logging over 41 minutes and contributing 15 points, four rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block. If Conley is held out of Monday's contest, look for Mario Chalmers to grab the spot start. However, the game itself could be cancelled due to an ice-storm heading towards Portland on Monday.

Conley contributed 15 points (5-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-6 FT), four rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block over 41 minutes in Saturday's 92-87 overtime loss to the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Even though he considerably struggled from the field, the nine-year vet managed his eighth straight double-digit scoring performance. While he's certainly been prone to cold spells from the field this season, Conley consistently contributes enough rebounds and assists to typically still provide solid fantasy value in games where his scoring suffers a downturn.

Conley scored 19 points (7-20 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT) while adding seven assists, four rebounds, three steals and a block in 31 minutes during Saturday's loss to the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
He's been putting up strong numbers lately, averaging 19.6 points, 5.2 assists, 3.2 boards, 2.0 steals and 1.8 threes over his last five games, but Conley's hot streak hasn't done much to change the fortunes of the struggling Grizzlies, who fell back to .500 (16-16) with the loss. The point guard should be in line for another big game Sunday, as Memphis hosts the cellar-dwelling Lakers.

Conley recorded 21 points (9-16 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 40 minutes during the Grizzlies' 100-91 loss versus the Wizards on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Conley scored a team-high 21 points while matching a season-high 40 minutes. Grizzlies' backup point guard Mario Chalmers was ejected in the first half after he picked up three personal fouls and two technical fouls in five minutes, forcing Conley to take on a larger load of floor time than usual. Conley has reached 20 or more points in three of the past four games. He now has 10 games this season in which he has scored 20 or more points, and the Grizzlies' offense will likely continue relying on Conley heavily to create offense for himself and others.

Conley supplied 18 points (6-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six assists, one steal, and one rebound across 32 minutes in Tuesday's 104-90 win over the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Don't look now, but Conley seems to be breaking out of his season-long slumber. He's gone off for at least 18 points in four of his last five contests, and while he's only shot 40.6 percent from the field during that stretch, Conley has helped his cause by getting to the free-throw line with more frequency. Aside from a drop in his shooting efficiency, Conley's numbers have remained relatively stable across the board compared to a season ago, and his 1.7 turnovers per game is his lowest mark since the 2008-09 campaign.
