Conley's numbers are down across the board in what appears to be a healthy season. His poor shooting has significantly lowered his fantasy value but there's plenty of time for a mid-season turnaround. Nickeil Alexander-Walker will likely benefit the most if Conley is ruled out.
Conley did not play in Wednesday's loss to Portland, as it was the second game of a back-to-back for the Timberwolves. Nickeil Alexander-Walker will return to the bench, with his fantasy value taking a hit.
With Mike Conley (rest) inactive for Wednesday's game, Alexander-Walker moves into the starting lineup for Minnesota's second game against Portland in as many nights. NAW is worth streaming in this spot, and it's possible that Robert Dillingham slides into the back end of the rotation. He would not be worth the streaming risk.
After playing both ends of Minnesota's first two back-to-backs, Conley will sit out Wednesday's game after playing 24 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Blazers. Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Donte DiVincenzo will figure more prominently in the rotation, with the former having better odds of moving into the starting lineup.
