Scores 11 points in loss
Conley recorded 11 points (3-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one block and one steal across 22 minutes during Sunday's 122-108 loss to the Hornets.
Analysis
Conley didn't see any action in Friday's 115-103 loss to Philadelphia, but he was back with the starters Sunday due to Anthony Edwards (knee) being sidelined. If Edwards is forced to miss more time, Conley is only worth deploying in deeper fantasy formats.

Starting Sunday
Conley will start in Sunday's game against Charlotte.
Analysis
Conley started in four consecutive contests before not seeing any action in Friday's 115-103 loss to Philadelphia. However, with Anthony Edwards (knee) and Jaden McDaniels (knee) both out, he will re-enter the starting lineup versus the Hornets. In 13 starts this season, Conley has averaged 7.2 points, 2.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 0.5 blocks and 1.0 steals across 24.5 minutes.

Drops out of rotation Friday
Conley (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Friday in the Timberwolves' 115-103 loss to the 76ers.
Analysis
Conley had started in each of the last four games while Anthony Edwards missed three of those contests and came off the bench for the other, but the former ended up falling out of the rotation Friday while the latter took back his normal spot on the top unit. Head coach Chris Finch leaned exclusively on Bones Hyland (30 minutes) and Terrence Shannon (nine minutes) as the team's reserve guards in the loss to Philadelphia.

Not starting Friday
Conley is not part of the starting lineup for Friday's game versus the 76ers.
Analysis
The 38-year-old floor general is heading back to the bench to make way in the first unit for the return of Anthony Edwards (knee). Friday snaps a string of four consecutive starts for Conley, who didn't appear in the two two games immediately preceding his return to the starting lineup.

Drawing last-minute start
Conley will start Monday's game against the Mavericks, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Conley wasn't listed in the team's official starting lineup, but Krawcyznski notes that the veteran point guard was a last-minute addition to the first unit after Anthony Edwards was late coming down the tunnel. Edwards replaced Conley with 10:59 remaining in the first quarter after missing tipoff.

Retreating to bench Monday
Conley won't start Monday's game against the Mavericks.
Analysis
With Anthony Edwards (knee) and Ayo Dosunmu (calf) returning from six- and two-game absences, respectively, Terrence Shannon and Conley will slide to the second unit. The veteran point guard isn't guaranteed to see the court Monday and has totaled 25 minutes over just three appearances off the bench since the All-Star break.
