Will play Saturday
Conley (rest) is available for Saturday's game against the Nets, Chris Hine of the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Analysis
Conley was initially listed as questionable for rest purposes but will shed that tag Saturday. The veteran point guard is expected to come off the bench against Brooklyn, and he has averaged 3.0 points and 2.7 assists across 16.2 minutes per game over six appearances with the second unit in December.

Could sit out vs. Nets
Conley (rest) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Nets.
Analysis
The Timberwolves are considering giving the veteran floor general Saturday night off. If Conley sits out, Bones Hyland would likely see extra ballhandling duties and experience a boost in fantasy upside. Additionally, Rob Dillingham could join the Minnesota rotation to some extent in this case.

Starting vs. New York
Conley will start against the Knicks on Tuesday.
Analysis
With Jaden McDaniels (hip) out, Conley will get the starting nod for the first time since Nov. 19. Over five starts so far this season, the veteran point guard has averaged 9.4 points, 5.8 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 26.8 minutes per tilt.

Serviceable line in return
Conley (Achilles) registered six points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), six assists, five rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 24 minutes in Sunday's 103-100 win over the Bucks.
Analysis
Making his return from a four-game absence due to right Achilles tendinopathy, Conley ended up handling a prominent role off the bench and came through with a quality stat line during his time on the court. Conley is averaging 19.3 minutes per game on the season, but the Timberwolves had more playing time up for grabs after Jaden McDaniels (hip) missed the entire second half. Expect the Timberwolves to peel back Conley's minutes a bit if McDaniels is available to play Tuesday against the Knicks.

Good to go
Conley (Achilles) is available for Sunday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis
Conley will return from a four-game absence due to right Achilles tendinitis to face Milwaukee. His return should mean fewer opportunities for Bones Hyland. Conley is averaging 5.3 points, 3.2 assists and 1.8 rebounds across 19.1 minutes per game this season.
