Grizzlies' Mike Conley: Below-average outing Friday vs. Pacers
Conley collected 10 points (5-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 0-4 FT), seven assists, and five rebounds across 32 minutes during Friday's 102-92 loss to the Pacers.
Analysis:
It appears that Conley was still trying to shake the rust off from the All-Star break, as Friday marked only the fifth time this season that he has scored 10 points or less. He also missed all four of his attempts from the free-throw line, which is uncharacteristic considering he's knocking down 86.1 percent of his attempts from the charity stripe this season. That being said, he still managed to dish out seven assists to a team that shot 41.7 percent while committing only one turnover. Though Conley has had bouts of inconsistency this season, likely frustrating those who frequently roster him in DFS, he still remains a top year-long option at the point guard slot, averaging 19.3 points, 6.2 assists, and 1.3 steals across 32.7 minutes per game this year.
