Downward trend continues Conley supplied five points (1-5 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 13 minutes during Tuesday's 149-142 overtime win over the Pelicans.

Impact Conley has well and truly entered the twilight of his career, having now scored no more than six points in 12 of his past 13 games. At this point, his presence in the locker room far outweighs his value on the court. Through 21 games, he is putting up career-low numbers, averaging 5.7 points, 3.3 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 19.5 minutes per contest.

Back to bench role Conley is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Suns.

Impact Conley will return to his regular bench role now that Jaden McDaniels is back in the starting unit. Conley is averaging just 6.4 points, 3.7 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 20.6 minutes per game this season, so he hasn't been very effective in terms of fantasy in a bench role.

Drops 10 points in start Conley posted 10 points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), one rebound, six assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 120-109 win over the Wizards.

Impact Conley moved into the starting lineup, replacing Jaden McDaniels, who was ruled out with a wrist injury. While he did manage to score double-digits, it was just the third time he has achieved that feat thus far this season. Through 15 appearances, Conley is averaging just 6.4 points, 3.7 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 20.6 minutes per game.

Starting Wednesday Conley will move into the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Wizards, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

Impact Conley is getting the start with Jaden McDaniels (wrist) unavailable, so he's on the radar as a potential streamer in deep leagues. Through four starts this season, Conley has registered averages of 9.3 points, 5.8 assists, 1.8 triples and 1.3 steals per game.

Tacks three steals in win Conley closed with five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and three steals in 16 minutes during Monday's 120-96 win over the Mavericks.

Impact Conley has not been a threat offensively, never eclipsing the six-point mark in his last six games and the 10-point mark all season, but he was able to prove his value on the defensive end Monday, going for three steals. While he does not provide much standalone value, the veteran point guard could be worth adding if one of the starters were to go down, as he averages 9.3 points, 5.8 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 0.8 blocks in four starts this season.

Timberwolves are learning a Mike Conley lesson that they should've known all along At 38, Mike Conley is declining, and this is likely the end of the road for the veteran.

Scores eight points with six dimes Conley notched eight points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists and one turnover in 18 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 137-114 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Conley provided some low-end value as a starter while Anthony Edwards was out, but with Edwards back in action and without limitations, Conley saw his minutes reduced back to the teens. While he was able to come through with a mediocre stat line in this one, that's simply not enough floor time for him to make a consistent impact in fantasy leagues.

Through three games as a reserve this season, Conley owns averages of 3.0 points and 1.7 assists in 15.5 minutes a night.

Serviceable effort in win Conley ended with 10 points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 122-105 win over Charlotte.

Impact The 10 points and six dimes both tied a season high for Conley, who has now dished out six assists in consecutive games. The veteran floor general's best fantasy days are likely behind him, though the door is open for a short-term boost in deep-league value while Anthony Edwards (hamstring) is injured. Conley has averaged 8.5 points, 5.0 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 26.9 minutes per game across his last four contests.

Impact The Timberwolves have instead decided that DiVincenzo will open the new year as their starting point guard. Conley's fantasy value was already on the decline ahead of his age-38 campaign, and it's likely going to be even more difficult for him to muster fantasy relevance from the second unit. Last regular season, the veteran floor general averaged just 5.6 points, 3.7 assists and 2.6 rebounds in 19.8 minutes per contest across six games off the bench.
