Mike Conley back for Grizzlies on Saturday

Mike Conley will return from a two-game absence due to a sprained left wrist Saturday as his Memphis Grizzlies host the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Grizzlies were able to hang tough and win both games Conley missed thanks to their depth and the elevated play of Zach Randolph. Don't let Memphis' 4-0 mark without Conley this year confuse his value, as the team's been 4.3 points per-100 possessions better with him on the floor.

In 42 games, Conley is averaging a career-high 17.4 points along with 3.4 rebounds and 5.6 assists. He's also shooting a career-best 41.9 percent from long range and providing stellar defense at the point, which should come in handy as the Grizzlies attempt to slow Russell Westbrook on Saturday.

Beno Udrih filled in capably over two games, but the upgrade to a borderline All-Star in Conley is appreciable. The Grizzlies have been dominant against other top teams in the West but they're just four-point favorites on Saturday, even with Conley suiting up.

And hey, if Conley's return isn't enough, maybe they can tag in some outside help:
