Analysis:

Conley was magnificent on Monday night, scoring 19 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT) to go along with two rebounds, six assists and two steals in only 23 minutes while helping lead the Grizzlies to the top overall record in the NBA at 10-1. The Grizzlies were in command of the game early, and it's likely Conley could've played more minutes had the game not been such a blowout. Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph only combined to play 51 minutes on Monday, and rookies Jarnell Stokes and Jordan Adams got some extended burn as well. Conley will likely assume his usual load of heavy minutes when the Grizzlies return to action on Wednesday against the Raptors, who are the top-seeded Eastern Conference team at 8-2.
