Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley (toe) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. This marks the third game in a row that Conley has missed due to a toe sprain. His absence should mean that Donte DiVincenzo and Nickeil Alexander-Walker get more run in the rotation. Neither player has been an ideal fantasy option this season. DiVincenzo has finished with 11 points or more over his last three games. He'll be worth a look as a low-end streaming option on Tuesday.
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Mike Conley (toe) is regarded as questionable for Tuesday's meeting with Houston. The veteran has been out for a couple of games with a toe injury, and his return on Tuesday is far from certain. Conley appears to be on his last legs, averaging 7.5 points and 4.8 assists for the campaign, a far cry from his career averages of over 14 points and nearly six assists a night. Donte DiVincenzo and Nickeil Alexander-Walker have received starts during Conley's absence, with the former doing a better job in the role. DiVincenzo hit three threes and had 11 points with three rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block in Sunday's 107-105 loss to Boston.
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley (toe) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Celtics. The veteran has struggled this season, averaging a career-low 7.5 points and 31.9% shooting from the field. While production like that won't make him a valuable commodity for fantasy managers, his absence will at least open up minutes for Nickeil Alexander-Walker, although he's coming off a rough six-point effort in the loss to the Toronto Raptors on Thursday night.
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Mike Conley (toe) will miss Thursday's game against Toronto. The veteran was already regarded as questionable for the contest and has now been ruled out with a toe sprain. Nickeil Alexander-Walker will slot into the starting unit as Conley's replacement. The 26-year-old had a decent performance in his only previous start this season when he also filled in for Conley, recording 13 points, five rebounds, three assists, three steals, and one block in a 106-98 loss to Portland on Nov. 13.
Mike Conley Appears On Injury Report For Thursday With Toe Injury
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley (toe) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Toronto Raptors. Conley has a toe sprain and this is the first time he's shown up on the injury report with this injury. The veteran has played two straight games of 30-plus minutes, coinciding with backup guard Donte DiVincenzo's back spasms becoming more of an issue (also listed as questionable for Thursday). Minnesota will be hoping at least one of the two will be able to suit up Thursday. If Conley is unable to suit up, expect DiVincenzo to play a larger role and get a start. If neither are able to go, expect Nickeil Alexander-Walker to get the start. None of the three will provide a ton of fantasy value.
The Minnesota Timberwolves announced that point guard Mike Conley (rest) won't play Wednesday against the Portland Trail Blazers for rest purposes. The veteran point guard has played in less than 24 minutes in the last three contests. He's averaged 7.4 points, 4.7 assists, and 3.0 rebounds across 11 games this season. While the 37-year-old has the night off, Donte DiVincenzo, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, and rookie Rob Dillingham will likely see more playing time.
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Mike Conley produced a good two-way performance in Tuesday's Game 4 win over the Mavericks, scoring 14 points on 5-for-9 shooting and snagging four steals. He also recorded three rebounds in 34 minutes on the floor as Minnesota fought off elimination. Conley struggled in the first game of the series, but he's played well since then, and the team needs more of the same to remain alive again in Game 5 on Thursday. The veteran point guard will enter the contest with averages of 16.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 2.0 steals across the last three games.
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Mike Conley (Achilles) is questionable for Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals against Dallas on Tuesday. Conley has suffered from a right soleus strain but has suited up the last five contests. The 36-year-old veteran will likely be good to go, with Minnesota on the verge of elimination. He has averaged 13.3 points, 4.0 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 31.7 minutes in the series.
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Mike Conley had a 16-point outing with 4-for-7 shooting from deep in Sunday's 116-107 loss to Dallas. Conley scored each of the team's first five points and had a good shooting night with a 6-for-11 effort from the field despite an early trip to the locker room. The veteran continues to play through a calf problem, which forced him to miss one game in the previous series. Across 31 minutes of action, Conley added one rebound, four assists, and one steal to his line while committing only one turnover, although he had a game-worst minus-16 rating. Following a six-point dud in Game 1, Conley has enjoyed two productive outings, but the team needs even more from him, as Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns are slumping.
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley (calf) is questionable for Sunday's postseason showdown with the Dallas Mavericks. The veteran will likely continue to deal with a right Soleus strain for the rest of the postseason, so DFS managers should anticipate his presence on the injury report moving ahead. However, he should be fine to play through it, barring a significant setback. Conley struggled in Game 1, scoring only six points. But he had 18 points in Game 2. With that said, the 36-year-old is not a consistent fantasy option, making him a risky roster choice for Game 3.
