Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Hands out 10 dimes in win
Rotowire
Conley registered 18 points (6-11 FG, 6-9 3Pt), four rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Sunday's 119-97 win over Memphis.
Conley has excelled as a playmaker and has played a massive role in an offense led by two established superstars in Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns. Conley has dished out at least eight dimes in three straight contests and is trending in the right direction even if his scoring numbers are pedestrian at best. He's averaging 10.4 points, 6.3 assists and 2.7 rebounds per game in November.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Efficient against defending champs
Rotowire
Conley amassed 17 points (7-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 110-89 victory over the Nuggets.
Conley wasn't as dominant offensively as Karl-Anthony Towns or Anthony Edwards, but he missed just two shots from the floor and delivered an excellent outing on both ends of the court. Conley is expected to hold a secondary role on offense this season while sharing the court with Edwards, Towns and Rudy Gobert, but he's more than capable of putting up solid numbers every night. Conley has scored in double digits in three of his first four outings.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Racks up three steals
Rotowire
Conley posted five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four assists, three steals and two rebounds in 17 minutes during Thursday's 111-99 preseason win over Dallas.
Conley's scoring was limited by a low shot volume Thursday, and he saw the lowest point total of any starter during the preseason opener. However, he managed to make an impact on the defensive end with a team-high three steals. The 35-year-old saw a slight increase in production after being traded from the Jazz to the Timberwolves last year, as he averaged 14.0 points, 5.0 assists and 3.1 rebounds in 31.4 minutes per game over 24 appearances with Minnesota.

He shot an efficient 7-for-11 from the field, including 4-of-6 from three-point range, showing a significant improvement over the 3-for-13 line he posted against Phoenix two days prior.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Delivers double-double
Rotowire
Conley racked up 24 points (6-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 9-9 FT), 11 assists, four rebounds, two steals and one block across 32 minutes during Monday's 140-134 win over the Knicks.
Conley stepped up for the shorthanded Timberwolves, delivering his first double-double since arriving in Minnesota at the trade deadline. With Anthony Edwards (ankle) on the sideline, Conley shouldered more of the offensive load, both in terms of scoring and facilitating. He has been a top-40 player in nine-category leagues on a per-game basis over the past two weeks, and with Minnesota pushing hard for the playoffs, Conley should be able to maintain comfortable 12-team value rest of season even once Edwards is back in the fold.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Limited output in debut
Rotowire
Conley registered nine points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, three assists and two steals over 26 minutes during Friday's 128-107 loss to the Grizzlies.
Conley made his Timberwolves debut but failed to make an impact, failing to reach double-digit scoring figures and not contributing in a major way in other categories, either. His numbers should improve as the season progresses and as he gets used to his new teammates, but he's not expected to put up the same numbers D'Angelo Russell was delivering for Minnesota before the trade.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Questionable to debut Friday

Conley (trade pending) is questionable to make his Timberwolves debut on Friday.
Once he passes his physical, the veteran figures to start at the vacated point guard spot made available by the Wolves dealing D'Angelo Russell to the Lakers in the three-team trade that brought Conley from Utah. With Minnesota, Conley should continue focusing on distribution, as he's averaging a career-high 7.7 assists per game and is joining a team with a potent scorer in Anthony Edwards, and Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) will eventually return. Fantasy managers rostering Conley should have no concerns about his value.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Headed to Minnesota
Rotowire
The Timberwolves acquired Conley from the Jazz on Wednesday in a three-team trade that also involves the Lakers, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Along with Conley, the Timberwolves received Nickeil Alexander-Walker and second-round picks in 2024, 2025 and 2026, while Utah takes back Russell Westbrook, Damian Jones, Juan Toscano-Anderson and a 2027 first-round draft pick. The Lakers, meanwhile, will add D'Angelo Russell, Jarred Vanderbilt and Malik Beasley. With the move to Minnesota, Conley should slot into the starting point guard role vacated by Russell, so his value shouldn't dramatically change while he plays alongside another high-usage wing in Anthony Edwards, much like he did in Utah with Lauri Markkanen. As for Utah, Westbrook will most likely be bought out in the coming days, leaving Collin Sexton as the likely candidate to replace Conley in the Jazz's starting five.
