Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Season-high 16 points in return

Conley (toe) racked up 16 points (4-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four assists, two steals and one rebound across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 115-104 loss to the Kings.

Making his return to Minnesota's lineup after missing three games with a let big toe sprain, Conley didn't face any restrictions with his playing time and established a new season high in scoring. The veteran floor general has been up and down during his 18th season, but he remains a respectable source of three-pointers, steals and assists for fantasy managers who can handle the 37-year-old's sporadic absences at this stage of his career. Conley is shooting a career-low 32.4 percent from the field through 14 games this season, but he's also averaging 4.7 assists, 1.8 triples and 1.7 steals per game to somewhat atone for the poor efficiency.
