Mike Conley (bruised thigh) missed Tuesday's shootaround, and will not suit up for Tuesday's game vs. the Lakers. This will presumably give Jerryd Bayless the start, and he makes for an interesting spot-start in daily formats. Conley has been a warrior throughout his career, missing just 9 games since the 2008-09 season. The Grizzlies play again Wednesday vs. Dallas, so stay posted for more updates.

Mike Conley (bruised thigh) felt "better than expected" on Monday, but he did not practice and his status for games on Tuesday and Wednesday is uncertain. Both Conley and coach Dave Joerger suggested that he could sit out during the Grizzlies' back-to-back games, to avoid aggravating the injury. The good news is that Conley intends to play vs. the Lakers "if he can run," so owners will have to await updates on Tuesday.

Mike Conley scored 18 points in 35 minutes during Friday's 104-98 loss to the Pelicans to go with seven assists and two 3-pointers on 6-of-16 shooting. He's in a mild shooting slump over his last four games, making just 38.6 percent on 14.3 shots per game. Conley also failed to record a steal in back-to-back games, which is something that hasn't happened since Nov. 14, 2012. Simply put, there's nothing to worry about for the elite point guard.

Mike Conley kept up his season of efficient scoring against the Clippers on Thursday, shooting 6-of-8 from the field for 16 points with one rebound, four assists, one 3-pointer and two 3-pointers. He entered tonight shooting exactly 50 percent on his two-pointers and made all four of them tonight. Conley has become a little like Tony Parker with his efficient shooting and ranks fourth among point guards in field goal percentage, but Conley also delivers at the line with his 86.4 percent from the line -- ranked seventh among point guards. He's an upper-echelon guard in fantasy.

Mike Conley had a double-double in Saturday's 97-88 loss to the Nets with 16 points, one rebound, 10 assists and one steal in 35 minutes. After being somewhat quiet in the assist department to start the season, he has 29 in his last three games combined. Conley is dynamite in percentages and he's scoring 18 points per night, so he's a top-10 point guard in fantasy.

Mike Conley hit just 2-of-14 shots in the Grizzlies' 93-86 loss to the Rockets on Monday, and finished with 10 points, two rebounds, 10 assists, one steal and one three. Conley ran into defensive game-changer Patrick Beverley, and if there was ever a time to toss a buy-low offer to his owner it's now. Conley is picking up virtually all of the team's playmaking duties and though his efficiency will take a small hit, he's going to make up for it in volume of points and assists.

Mike Conley scored 28 points on 12-of-19 shooting (including two threes) with one rebound, two assists and four steals in the Grizzlies' loss to the Spurs on Friday. The Spurs can make anybody look bad but surely the loss of Marc Gasol tonight was going to cause some problems, leading to the low assist total for Conley. For however long Gasol is out, look for the opposite to remain true as Conley picks up some of the playmaking duties that were previously assigned to the big man.

Mike Conley scored 19 points in Wednesday's overtime win at Golden State, adding six boards, four assists, one steal and one 3-pointer in 39 minutes. After he had just 13.3 points per game before the break last year, he turned it up a notch post-break with 16.7 points on terrific shooting. It turns out that was just the beginning and Conley is up to 18.8 points per game on a stellar 50.3 percent from the field. He's a durable beast and those that don't own him probably don't even realize it.

Mike Conley scored 19 points and handed out a season-high nine assists on Sunday, while knocking down three 3-pointers to go along with one steal and one block. Conley has been steady as ever this season, with the exception of his career-low 26.3 percent shooting beyond the arc, so it was doubly encouraging to see him knock down 3-of-5 triples tonight. Though his iron-man abilities don't attract much attention, Conley has missed a grand total of nine games over the past five seasons.

Mike Conley hit 12-of-19 shots and four 3-pointers for a season-high 29 points, zero rebounds, five assists and three steals in Wednesday's loss. Conley hasn't been all that was advertised, but is still a top fantasy point guard and played well tonight. More assists would have been nice, but it does look like the Grizzlies are starting to become more comfortable with their run-and-gun offense.
