Mike Conley had just 12 points, three assists and six turnovers as the Grizzlies' 13-game win streak vs. the Eastern Conference was snapped with a loss to the surging Hawks.
The loss bumps Memphis 1.5 games behind the Spurs in the Southwest division, but only the Spurs and Thunder have higher win percentages than the Grizzlies (.778). Conley and his teammates will have three days off before Wednesday's road game in Phoenix.

Mike Conley shot 3-of-9 from the field for 11 points with five rebounds, one assist, two steals and one 3-pointer in a 108-98 overtime win over the Suns on Tuesday.
This was Conley's worst game of the year and he was coming in smoking hot -- especially with 10 steals in his last two games. This dud will knock him outside of the top 20 for 8-cat value, but he should hang around that neighborhood all year.

Mike Conley scored 17 points on 6-of-10 shooting (including three treys) with four rebounds, five assists, six steals, and one block in the Grizzlies' 90-78 win over the Pistons on Friday.
Conley is a mid-first round value right now and there's no reason he can't continue his assault on fantasy leagues. Marc Gasol scored 17 points with 11 boards, three assists, and two blocks, Rudy Gay matched Gasol's 6-of-17 shooting line with 18 points and four boards of his own, and Zach Randolph missed a double-double for just the second time this year with eight points and five rebounds in the win.

Mike Conley returned to the lineup on Wednesday and had 16 points, five assists, two steals, two blocks and four 3-pointers in 31 minutes against the Raptors.
This is the type of line his owners were hoping for. Conley was launching threes at an alarming rate in the preseason, so the 1.5 triples per game he was sporting entering tonight's game is almost a pessimistic expectation. He is shooting exactly 50 percent from the field this year and should have a huge season.

Mike Conley (flu-like symptoms) practiced fully on Tuesday.
His status for Wednesday's game isn't set in stone, but the fact that he was able to take part in a full practice is a good indication that he'll be able to play. Owners will need to check back for another update, but it looks safe to pencil him into your lineups again.

Mike Conley will not play in Monday's game due to flu-like symptoms.
Jerryd Bayless will start and we've seen what he can do in the past when given the minutes (if you don't remember he was a top-10 play for a stretch last season). We're not saying he'll do it again tonight, but he won't be shy and is an excellent spot-start.

Mike Conley bounced back after a tough start against Chris Paul and the Clippers on Wednesday, taking a much softer Warriors unit to the hole for 21 points, three rebounds, seven assists, and five steals.
Conley hit 5-of-9 shots with three treys and hit all eight of his free throws, and we weren't concerned about him in the slightest. He has been perhaps the most consistent player in the association the last three years and is poised to take a step forward this season.

Mike Conley hit just 2-of-10 shots for seven points, three rebounds, five assists, three steals, a 3-pointer and six turnovers in 34 minutes of Wednesday's loss to the Clippers.
Maybe it was Chris Paul, or maybe it was the pressure of opening night. Whatever the case, Conley has been a very consistent fantasy point guard and we expect him to put up solid numbers again this season. Now is a great time to target his owner with a buy-low bid.

Mike Conley scored 12 points including two triples, while adding nine assists and two steals in 25 minutes on Wednesday.
Conley is averaging 2.0 threes in his six preseason games. He was second in steals last year, so a sizable increase to 1.0 threes made last season would make him a near lock for top-10 value among point guards.

Mike Conley scored 20 points on 5-of-13 shooting (1-of-2 3PTs, 9-of-9 FTs) with five rebounds, six assists, and a block in 36 minutes of Thursday's preseason win.
Conley has had as good of a preseason as anybody in the NBA, and he should certainly be moving up draft boards, but keep in mind that preseason stats are often useless. Don't go overboard projecting results from the silly season in either direction. Rudy Gay added 20 points, four rebounds, six assists, four steals, and a block, and Marreese Speights had 16 and 11 with three blocks in a start for Zach Randolph (rest), illustrating our point.
