NBA Front Office Confidential: Uncertainty defines upcoming trade deadline

Hot streak continues Conley chipped in 17 points (6-8 FG, 5-6 3Pt), four rebounds, nine assists and one block across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 126-103 victory over the Clippers.
Impact With Wednesday's performance, the veteran has scored double-digit points in four straight games -- just the second time all season that he's achieved the feat. Fantasy managers in nine-category leagues are also benefiting from Conley's ball control, as he has 23 assists and zero turnovers over the past three games. He should be rostered, or at least streamed, in most 12-team fantasy leagues.

Slated to play Saturday Conley (rest) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game versus the 76ers, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Conley predictably will make his return to the floor after getting a night off to rest on the front end of the back-to-back set Friday. He should resume his duties as the Jazz's starting point guard, sending Nickeil Alexander-Walker back to the bench.

Sitting out against Orlando Conley is out for Friday's game versus the Magic due to rest, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Conley will rest on the first night of Utah's back-to-back. Collin Sexton will likely enter the starting lineup in his absence. The veteran point guard should be good to go for Saturday's matchup with Philadelphia.

Quiet again in loss Conley recorded seven points (3-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Sunday's 123-118 loss to the Grizzlies.
Impact Conley struggled again in the loss, scoring in single digits for the fourth time in his last five games. He has been able to maintain strong assist numbers, putting up at least seven dimes in each of his past seven games, somewhat salvaging what has been a rough period. He is the 187th-ranked player over the past month, and while he is probably a must-roster player, his offensive woes do mean he isn't going to be for everyone.

Contributes across board in loss Conley finished with 18 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven assists, three steals and one rebound across 33 minutes in Tuesday's 117-115 loss to the Kings.
Impact Conley's scoring production has been all over the map of late, but he's continued to provide assists at a career-best rate (7.5 per game) while making a regular contribution in the steals column. Considering that Conley is shooting 38.7 percent from the field for the season -- well below his career 43.8 percent rate -- he should be a candidate to see his scoring increase to some degree as the season rolls along.

Goes for 17 points in loss Conley racked up 17 points (4-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Friday's 126-125 loss to the Kings.
Impact Conley had a quiet first half with just six points on 2-of-5 shooting from the field to go along with four assists. He knocked down only two more shots in the second half on six attempts but still managed another 11 points after going 5-of-6 from the free-throw line. The Jazz point guard has reached the 17-point mark in two of his last three games, while his six free-throw attempts in the contest matched a season high.

Dishes out 10 dimes Conley chipped in five points (2-11 FG, 1-8 3Pt), two rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 112-107 loss to Golden State.
Impact After dropping 17 points during Monday's loss to the Spurs, Conley was quite inefficient from the floor against the Warriors on Wednesday. He's started the last eight matchups but has been held to single-digit scoring totals in seven of those appearances, and he's averaged 7.4 points and 6.8 rebounds in 29.0 minutes per game over that stretch.
DECEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Posts well-rounded stat line Monday Conley totaled 17 points (6-12 FG, 5-7 3Pt), five rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals across 33 minutes during Monday's 126-122 loss to the Spurs.
Impact Conley did a little bit of everything for Utah in the loss, finishing third on the team in scoring, first in assists and tied for third in rebounds. The veteran point guard also racked up three steals and even swatted a shot, recording his first block since mid-November. This was a much-needed bounce-back performance for Conley, who averaged just 6.2 points on 31.8 percent shooting from the field over his previous six contests entering Monday.

Struggles continue Thursday Conley provided eight points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and six assists in 27 minutes during Thursday's 120-112 victory over Washington.
Impact Conley fell short of the mark again Thursday, failing to score in double digits for the sixth consecutive game. While his assist numbers have been adequate, his lack of supporting stats are causing a major headache for managers. He could be viewed as a possible buy-low candidate, although whether he is able to turn things around remains a very real question. In certain situations, there is certainly a case to be made for streaming his position.
DECEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Can't find shot Thursday Conley amassed four points (1-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-6 FT), two rebounds and six assists across 32 minutes during Thursday's 132-129 overtime win over the Pelicans.
Impact Conley didn't shoot efficiently in either of the two games versus the Raptors, finishing with a combined 11 points between the contests while converting just three of his 16 attempts. He managed to rack up six assists in each contest, but Conley needs to pick it up in other areas to be a worthwhile fantasy option. Conley is just a few games removed from a lengthy absence due to a leg injury, so he could still be shedding some rust.

Quiet in blowout win Conley posted seven points (2-8 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 121-100 victory over the Pelicans.
Impact The Jazz handled the Pelicans with relative ease, but it was a mostly quiet night for the veteran guard, who made his return to action after sitting out Saturday's game at Denver on the second night of a back-to-back. Conley had previously missed a string of nine straight games from Nov. 21 to Dec. 7 due to a lower-leg injury.

Starting Wednesday Conley is in the starting lineup Wednesday against New Orleans, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Conley will resume his normal starting role after coming off the bench Dec. 9 against Minnesota. The veteran has averaged 10.2 points, 7.9 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 17 previous starts.
DECEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Without minutes restriction Tuesday Jazz coach Will Hardy said Conley won't have a set minutes limit in Tuesday's matchup with the Pelicans, Ben Anderson of KSLsports reports.
Impact Conley made his return last Friday from a nine-game absence due to a lower-body injury before resting for the second leg of a back-to-back Sunday. However, the veteran guard won't have any restrictions Tuesday, as he played only 25 minutes against Minnesota. Conley is averaging 29.0 minutes across 18 games this season.
DECEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Getting rest day Saturday Conley will take a rest day Saturday versus the Nuggets, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
Impact Conley returned from a nine-game absence Friday following a lower-body injury, posting 17 points, six assists and a rebound over 25 minutes off the bench in a 118-108 loss to the Timberwolves. It's not surprising the veteran point guard will get a night off in the second game of a back-to-back set, but he should be back on the floor Tuesday versus the Pelicans. Jordan Clarkson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker are the primary candidates to see time on the ball Saturday, as Collin Sexton (hamstring) is joining Conley on the sideline.

Impact Conley is set to make his first appearance since Nov. 19 following a prolonged absence due to a lower-body injury. The veteran isn't quite ready to handle a starting role, so with Collin Sexton (hamstring) out, Jordan Clarkson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker will start in Utah's backcourt. Before the injury, Conley posted 10.9 points, 8.2 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 30.5 minutes per game, but he may be a risky fantasy play while he works his way back to full strength.
