Mike Conley's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The Minnesota Timberwolves have added guard Mike Conley (illness) to the injury report and downgraded him to questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Washington Wizards. Conley appeared to be good to go after dodging Minnesota's initial injury report on Tuesday, but he's come down with an illness as of Wednesday morning. Look for the veteran point guard's status to be updated closer to Wednesday's tip-off, which comes early enough at 7:00 p.m. EST for DFS players to be able to adjust their lineups accordingly. If Conley's illness proves to be enough to hold him out of action against a pitiful Wizards team, Nickeil Alexander-Walker would be in line for a second consecutive start at the one after playing 30 minutes when Conley rested in Monday's upset loss to the Charlotte Hornets.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have removed Mike Conley (rest) from their injury report ahead of Wednesday's tilt against the Washington Wizards. Conley rested for the second time this year in Tuesday's shocking home loss to the Charlotte Hornets, but he'll be back in Minnesota's lineup on Wednesday. The former All-Star floor general is bringing in top-75 fantasy numbers in nine-category leagues as a reliable two-way presence at the point for the first-place T-Wolves, but he has scored in single digits during eight of his last 10 outings. Conley hopes Wednesday's soft matchup against a 7-35 Wizards team gets him back on track. Nickeil Alexander-Walker posted a season-high 18 points and drained four triples in 30 minutes during Tuesday's spot start at the one, but expect him to revert to Minny's second unit on Wednesday.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are listing guard Mike Conley (rest) as out for Monday's contest versus the Charlotte Hornets. Conley last sat out on Jan. 10 against the Boston Celtics for rest purposes as well, and Minnesota is opting to keep the veteran floor general out against a 9-31 Hornets team. The T-Wolves have another cushy draw on tap for Wednesday when they meet the 7-35 Washington Wizards in D.C., but fantasy managers should still expect Conley back for that one. Three-and-D swingman Nickeil Alexander-Walker drew the spot start at the point when Conley was last out, supplying a full stat line with 15 points, four rebounds, three assists, three triples, one steal, and one block in a season-high 40 minutes during that Jan. 10 meeting. Jordan McLaughlin is also in line for an uptick in minutes from Minny's second unit.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley (rest) isn't spotted on the team's injury report leading into Friday's matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers. Minnesota gave Conley, who had participated in all of their 36 games this season, a night off for Wednesday's loss to the Boston Celtics, but they will have him available on Friday. Disruptive defender Nickeil Alexander-Walker filled the void in head coach Chris Finch's starting backcourt against the Celtics, notching 15 points, four rebounds, three assists, three treys, one steal, and one block in Wednesday's 40-minute spot start. Look for NAW to return to the bench and lose fantasy value on Friday. Kyle Anderson has a chance to remain in the first unit, however, with the 'Wolves listing Rudy Gobert (hip) as questionable after sitting out on Wednesday.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley (rest) will sit out Wednesday's duel with the Boston Celtics for maintenance purposes. Conley has been available for all 36 of Minnesota's games this year, so he will get a breather on the second half of a back-to-back after logging his third double-double of the campaign in Tuesday's win over the Orlando Magic. It's been a workmanlike season for the 36-year-old former All-Star during his first full year in Minny, attaining top-75 value in nine-category fantasy leagues on 11.2 points, 6.3 assists, 2.4 threes, and 1.0 steals per game while going 48-for-51 at the free-throw line overall. Look for Conley to return on Friday versus the Portland Trail Blazers and Anthony Edwards to assume primary ball-handling and facilitating duties on Wednesday. Jordan McLaughlin could draw the spot start at the point, while Nickeil Alexander-Walker should also get more run.
