Mike Conley shot the ball well in Monday's 92-77 win over the Wolves, making 8-of-14 shots for 20 points with three boards, six assists, two steals and three 3-pointers in 34 minutes.
He is dealing with a minor right wrist injury and didn't even appear in the pre-game report from the team. The injury is to his non-shooting wrist and Conley should be deployed in all leagues.

Mike Conley (non-shooting right wrist) was not mentioned in the pregame injury and game report provided by NBA.com.
We didn't think the injury was serious and if it was it would almost certainly be reported here. Use him as you normally would and we'll keep our ear to the ground for updates.

Mike Conley played Saturday's game with a sprained right wrist according to the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
Conley's status for Monday's game doesn't appear to be in doubt, but we're marking him sidelined just in case. The Grizzlies have four games this week, and barring a negative report in the next few hours he should be in most if not all weekly lineups.

Mike Conley shot 4-of-13 from the field in Friday's 87-80 loss to the Nuggets, adding six boards, three assists, two steals and one 3-pointer in 39 minutes.
Their offense was sputtering tonight and shot just 35.3 percent from the field. Memphis recently jumped Indiana for fewest points per game allowed on the season and their slower pace explains some of that. However, Conley is putting up solid numbers and he's a must-start point guard.

Mike Conley hit just 4-of-12 shots and zero 3-pointers, but came through with 14 points, a career-high 15 assists, four rebounds and four steals in a tough win over the Blazers on Tuesday.
It's hard to believe that's a career high for the established point guard, but it is. While his season is considered disappointing by some, he's been a reliable source of points, assists, steals and threes, as usual, and is going to be a very solid fantasy point guard for years to come.

Mike Conley filled the stat sheet in Friday's win over the Cavs with 17 points, 11 assists, five steals, one block and one 3-pointer in 34 minutes.
He shot 6-of-10 from the field and 4-of-5 from the charity stripe to make this a seven-category line. Conley has scored at least 13 points in each of his last four games with 1.5 triples and 2.5 steals in that span. He's a must-start point guard through thick and thin.

Mike Conley shot 7-of-11 from the field for 20 points with three boards, six assists, two steals, two blocks and one 3-pointer in 36 minutes against the Blazers on Wednesday.
He has been a mild disappointment so far this year, making just 43 percent from the field before tonight's gem. Conley has always been great at getting to the hoop and 43 percent of his shots from within five feet, but he's shooting just 47 percent on shots in that range after shooting 53 percent or greater in each of his last three season. He's still been a low-end PG1 in standard leagues and is a must-start option through thick and thin.

Mike Conley bounced back from a cold shooting night on Wednesday to score 14 points on 6-of-13 shooting (including two threes) with four rebounds, eight assists and two steals in Friday's loss to the Heat.
We mentioned that Conley was a good buy low candidate with a solid schedule down the stretch on Wednesday, and it'll be that much harder to acquire him after tonight. Marc Gasol scored 24 points with nine rebounds, four assists and one block, and Z-Bo went for 14 and nine with a steal in the loss.

Mike Conley hit just 2-of-13 shots for five points, four rebounds, six assists and three steals in Wednesday's win over the Mavericks.
This could be a great buy-low opportunity on Conley, especially given the Grizzlies' solid weekly games-played schedule going forward. They finish up 3-4-4-4-4-3-2, which should be very good for many playoff leagues. Conley had scored in double figures in his previous six games, and just didn't have it going tonight.

Mike Conley was outstanding in Tuesday's win over the Kings with 22 points, two rebounds, seven assists, one steal, one block and two 3-pointers in 34 minutes.
He hasn't really created much of a buzz, but Conley has provided third-round value in standard leagues this year. He still can be viewed as a bit of a buy-low guy since he provided just sixth-round value over the last month. His 2.3 steals per game rank second in the league and he should have more responsibility with Rudy Gay out of town.
