Mike Conley Rested On Friday
2 years agoUtah Jazz point guard Mike Conley will be rested for Friday's clash with Orlando. It's the first leg of a back-to-back for the team and Utah is keeping the veteran floor general fresh for Saturday's matchup against Philadelphia. Conley has had an up-and-down ride in Utah this season but is averaging a career-high 7.5 assists, to go along with 10.1 points and 1.0 steals. Collin Sexton (hamstring) is back from a five-game absence Friday and is a strong candidate to start. However, he is returning with a minutes restriction and might not be able to make a big enough impact to please fantasy managers. Conley's absence should also give Malik Beasley and Nickeil Alexander-Walker an opportunity to pick up extra work.
