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.

Mike Conley scored seven points on 2-of-7 shooting (including a three) with four rebounds, 10 assists, one steal, and one block in Friday's win over the Warriors.
This line would be great if he would have scored a whole lot more, which has been the problem with Conley lately. Yes, the Warriors are soft inside and it made sense to go to the bigs tonight, but he needs to get be more assertive if he wants to climb back into the elite fantasy ranks.

Mike Conley acknowledged that he's looking to be more aggressive with his shot selection on offense.
Conley has shot 52 percent over his last five games and has been more aggressive coming off of pick and roll opportunities. "I'm a role player," Conley said. "I feel like that's what my role has jumped to. I have to be more offensive-minded." For the season, Conley is averaging 13.2 points, 5.7 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.3 3-pointers on 42.7 percent shooting.

Mike Conley returned from his ankle injury against the Thunder on Thursday and shot 7-of-19 from the field for 17 points with three rebounds, four assists, three steals and three 3-pointers in 38 minutes.
He looked healthy for the most part, but was settling for jumpers more often than usual. Only 11 percent of his attempts on Wednesday came at the rim, which is down 35 percent this season. Conley also had a season high of nine attempts from beyond the arc and he's safe to put back in all lineups.

Mike Conley (ankle) will play against the Thunder on Thursday.
He took part of non-contact practice on Wednesday and it's still unclear how close he is to 100 percent. Conley went right up until game time on Monday before he was ruled out, so there's a good chance he may be able to approach his usual load of 33.3 minutes per game. He should be in all lineups and Jerryd Bayless is just a lukewarm spot-start against OKC.

Mike Conley (ankle) participated in the non-contact portion of practice Wednesday.
Conley is hoping to return Thursday against the Thunder after getting two extra days of treatment on his ankle. It's good that he practiced today, but we'll have to see how his ankle responds overnight. We still consider him questionable for Thursday's game and owners will want to check back after shootaround tomorrow morning. Jerryd Bayless would get the start if Conley can't go against OKC.
