Scoreless in defeat Conley recorded zero points (0-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Monday's 110-104 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Conley failed to score in Game 2, leaving a massive gap in Utah's typical production. Donovan Mitchell, Jordan Clarkson and Bojan Bogdanovic did their best to pick up the slack, but the team's tight nine-man rotation is overworked as it is, and a down game from a high-volume player like Conley has a huge effect.

Solid in Game 1 Conley contributed 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Saturday's 99-93 victory over the Mavericks.

Impact Donovan Mitchell and Bojan Bogdanovic were the driving forces of the offense in Game 1, though Conley still contributed as a third option. He'll presumably remain in that role for the remainder of the series, as he averaged just 13.7 points during the regular season.

Returns with 13 points, eight dimes Conley supplied 13 points (4-13 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 111-105 loss to Phoenix.

Impact Conley was his usual, steady self, but he struggled from the field and was unable to stop Utah from blowing yet another double-digit fourth-quarter lead. The veteran's numbers have tailed off a bit this season, though that can somewhat be chalked up to the fact that he's down to 28.6 minutes per game -- his fewest since his rookie year back in 2007-08.

Jazz rout Thunder 137-101 for 5th straight home win

Bojan Bogdanovic scored 27 points, Rudy Gobert added 20 points and 10 rebounds and the Utah Jazz beat the Oklahoma Thunder 137-101 on Wednesday night

APRIL 7, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Out Wednesday Conley has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to right knee injury maintenance.

Impact This absence can likely be classified as rest, as Utah will also have Donovan Mitchell (rest) sidelined. With the Jazz's top two guards out, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Trent Forrest (concussion) and Danuel House are candidates for increased roles, though Jordan Clarkson will likely handle the majority of the playmaking duties.

Excels with 26 points Conley notched 26 points (10-18 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Saturday's 111-107 loss to Golden State.

Impact Conley tied Donovan Mitchell for the team lead in scoring in the contest, though the point guard was much more efficient with a 10-for-18 shooting line. His scoring production was his most since he posted 29 points against Milwaukee on March 14. Conley's offensive output has ebbed and flowed over the course of the campaign, and he is currently in a productive stretch during which he has averaged 17.6 points, 5.6 dimes, 2.2 boards, 1.0 steals and 3.2 treys over his past five contests.

Impact Conley provided a strong presence in the backcourt in the loss and continued his run of accurate shotmaking. Over the past five games, Conley has converted 51.9 percent of his shots with a three-point percentage of 40.3.

Solid production in return Conley accumulated 18 points (7-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Monday's 114-106 loss to the Nets.

Impact Conley returned to the starting lineup for the second half of Utah's back-to-back set after sitting out the first half due to rest. The lefty point guard was efficient from the field and dished out a team-high seven assists, but the Jazz couldn't pull a win out against Kevin Durant and the Nets. Conley has been struggling in March and is shooting just 34.8 percent from the field across his last nine appearances, but Monday's performance was a step in the right direction. He'll look to build off of it during the remaining four games of Utah's current six-game road trip.

Not listed on injury report Conley (rest) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's matchup with the Nets.

Impact Conley sat out the first half of Utah's back-to-back set Sunday due to rest, but he's expected to be back in the starting lineup Monday. The Jazz will be without Bojan Bogdanovic (calf) and Danuel House (knee) again, so Conley and Donovan Mitchell will likely shoulder the offensive load against Brooklyn.

Breaks shooting slump in loss Conley notched 29 points (10-13 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Monday's 117-111 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Conley tied for the team lead in scoring in the contest thanks to an ultra-efficient 10-for-13 shooting line that included a 6-for-9 mark from deep. The veteran point guard had been struggling mightily entering the contest, averaging just 4.5 points on an ugly 14.7 percent shooting percentage over his previous four contests. This performance tied Conley's second-highest scoring mark of the campaign and was his first 20-point effort since Jan. 30.
