Mike Conley: Hopeful to play Monday

The Grizzlies are "hoping" that Conley (Achilles) will be able to play Monday against the Pelicans, Ronald Tillery of the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Analysis:

Conley, who has missed the Grizzlies' last six games with a sore left Achilles, is officially being listed as a game-time decision for Monday's tilt. He's expected to go through pregame warmups before being reevaluated, and an announcement on his availability or lack thereof should come shortly before the game's 1:30 ET tip off. Even if Conley is available, there's a high probability he could come off the bench and face a minutes restriction, so he's not a recommended DFS play for the Monday slate.
