Conley poured in 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-2 FT), two assists, and five rebounds over 24 minutes in Sunday's 90-68 victory over the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
Conley put in some quality work Sunday, setting a preseason high in scoring while also taking the most shots he has over the four exhibitions he's participated in. The 28-year-old is now fully recovered from the pleothora of injuries that plagued him in the 2014-15 postseason, and has appeared healthy so far this preseason. Conley will look to build on his solid 2014-15 campaign, and will likely benefit from the consistency of playing with the same starting rotation as the one that produced a strong playoff run.

Conley will continue to wear the protective mask he began wearing last season when he suffered a facial fracture, Pete Prancia of Fox Sports Southeast reports.
EDGE Analysis
Conley has gotten off to a slow start in the preseason, posting averages of 6.0 points (44.4 FG, 50.0 3Pt, 75.0 FT), 2.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.5 steals, and 3.0 turnovers in 19 minutes per game through two games. Still, he remains the team's top creator off the dribble, and he'll be relied on heavily to get good looks for the Grizzlies offense.

Conley was playing through several injuries in the playoffs, the Commerical Appeal reports.
Conley played through the injuries, so none of them should be considered long-term issues that are likely to linger into next season. However, just for fun, Conley's list included: broken face, strained neck, left wrist sprain, right wrist sprain, lower back tightness, and a right foot sprain. Thankfully, there's a whole offseason for the Memphis training staff to put Humpty Dumpty back together again.

Conley struggled in a Game 6 elimination loss to the Warriors, posting 11 points (3-13 FG, 5-7 FT, 0-6 3Pt), one rebound, nine assists, and two steals in 39 minutes of action.
Conley had an extremely difficult time in the series, averaging just 11.2 points and 4.8 assists on 38 percent shooting from the field. He's had better stints in the regular season, and the veteran point guard will just have to learn from experience as he heads into next season.

Conley posted 13 points, five assists, and three steals in 33 minutes of action in Game 5's loss to the Warriors.
Conley is averaging 11.2 points, 0.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.2 steals during the series, and it's clear he's been struggling to play like his usual self. He'll have to find a way to be more effective (as he was in Game 1) if the Grizzlies hope to prevent elimination in Game 6.

Conley went cold from the field in Game 4's loss to the Warriors, shooting 4-for-15 for 10 points, three rebounds, seven assists, and three steals in 33 minutes of action.
Conley couldn't seem to find his touch in Game 4, and it definitely affected the Grizzlies' overall offensive efficiency. He's now shooting just 7-for-25 from the field over the last two games and will need to regain his touch in time for Game 5.

Conley required intravenous fluids to take care of his cramps following Saturday's Game 3 against the Warriors, The Commercial Appeal reports. Additionally, Conley's stitches above his right eye popped out during the course of Game 3, but neither of these incidents are expected to keep him from playing in Game 4 on Monday.
Conley has really taken a beating these playoffs but still manages to play through all his ailments. However, he's been somewhat limited in terms of minutes since returning from facial surgery, 29.5 over his last two games, but seems to be working his way back to a full compliment of minutes game-by-game. At 16.5 points per game in the Golden State series thus far, Conley is a viable option across all formats as long as he's on the court.

Conley scored 11 points (3-10 FG 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT) with five assists in the game three win over the Warriors on Saturday.
Conley had a quiet performance in game three, but wasn't needed as Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph shouldered the load the Grizzlies at home. The biggest takeaway is that Conley was able to play a full compliment of minutes without major issues. Conley remains a sneaky value play in DFS.

Conley (face) returned to action in Game 2 against the Warriors and posted 22 points, three assists, and three treys in 27 minutes of action.
Conley's return marked a victory for the Grizzlies, who managed to tie up the series 1-1 after Game 2's win. Headed into Memphis for Games 3 through 5, the Grizzlies will hope to take the lead to put the Warriors out for good. Look for Conley to slowly ramp up his minutes as he remains healthy.
