Mike Conley

Conley's 17 points were the most he's scored in a game since January 22, when he scored 18 in a win over the Mavericks. While the veteran point guard has been more valuable to his team than to fantasy managers, he has been a top-100 player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Conley is rostered in 38 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and that number should not increase much with the Timberwolves playing three games during Week 22.

Conley will be back in the starting unit after coming off the bench on Friday. That was a one time thing for Joe Ingles to start in front of his son, but Conley will be back to playing his usual role against Indiana.

The Athletic's Jon Krawczynski reported that head coach Chris Finch is starting Ingles because his family is at the game. His son Jacob, who is autistic, sat through an entire game for the first time; the sensory overload of the arena had previously been too much for him. However, Ingles didn't see the floor. Finch is starting Ingles so that Jacob can see his dad play and start. It's unclear how much Ingles will play, and he is replacing Mike Conley in the starting lineup. Conley should still see close to his typical workload.

Conley had his best offensive night in over a month, with the 16 points being the most he's tallied in a game since February 6. The veteran point guard has proven more valuable to the Timberwolves than to fantasy managers on most nights, but he has been a top 100 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. As long as Conley continues to start ahead of Donte DiVincenzo, he can be a fantasy asset down the stretch. DiVincenzo finished Wednesday's loss with 11 points, seven rebounds, one assist, one steal and two three-pointers in 24 minutes.

Nembhard, the lone Pacers starter available for Monday's game, was ejected when he got into an altercation with Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert. After the Pacers guard inadvertently elbowed Mike Conley on a drive to the basket, Gobert gave him a forearm to the upper body. Nembhard threw the ball at Gobert, and both players were ejected. He finished with 12 points, two rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer in 19 minutes. T.J. McConnell will play more minutes since Tyrese Haliburton is also out.
