Conley (hamstring) is dealing with soreness in his strained right hamstring but intends to play in Saturday's Game 7, Sports 56 in Memphis reports. "Feeling sore, but it's not as bad as I thought," Conley said. "I do expect to play."

Analysis:

Conley suffered the strain during Thursday's Game 6 blowout loss to the Thunder, in which he scored just five points (2-10 FG) in 28 minutes. He'll be very limited in Friday's practice and will receive treatment in hopes of bringing the hamstring as close to 100 percent as possible. While Conley will almost certainly be in the lineup for Game 7, he could be limited, which may result in an increased role for Beno Udrih, who's played well in reserve duty this series.
