    • Mike Conley (calf) questionable for Game 6 Thurs.
      Mike Conley (right soleus strain) is questionable for Thursday’s game against the Nuggets.

      Advice: While Minnesota’s inability to defend Nikola Jokic was the biggest storyline in Game 5, Conley’s absence was also impactful. Nickeil Alexander-Walker moved into the starting lineup and was solid, but not having Conley on the court negatively impacted Anthony Edwards. Edwards had his worst game of the series, shooting 5-of-15 from the field and committing four turnovers. With Minnesota’s season on the line, they desperately need a healthy Conley on the court for Thursday night. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:21 pm
       
    • Iffy for Game 6
      Conley (Achilles) is questionable for Thursday's Game 6 against the Nuggets.

      Advice: Conley was a late addition to the injury report ahead of Game 5 due to right Achilles soreness and was ultimately unable to play, allowing Nickeil Alexander-Walker to get his first start of the postseason. If Conley is sidelined again, Monte Morris would be a candidate for double-digit minutes off the bench. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:11 pm
       
    • Masterful performance in win
      Jokic supplied 40 points (15-22 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 8-9 FT), seven rebounds, 13 assists, one block and two steals over 41 minutes during Tuesday's 112-97 victory over the Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Jokic took over during Game 5, leading the Nuggets to a third consecutive victory over the Timberwolves. Despite going up against the Defensive Player of the Year, Jokic had no issues getting what he wanted around the basket and finished with a playoff-high 40 points. The series will head back to Minnesota where Jokic and the Nuggets will look to wrap things up Thursday. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:51 pm
       
    • Unstoppable: Nikola Jokic goes off for 40 points
      Nikola Jokic played 40 minutes in Tuesday’s 112-97 win over Minnesota, tallying 40 points (15-of-22 FGs, 8-of-9 FTs), seven rebounds, 13 assists, two steals, one block, and two 3-pointers.

      Advice: For the first time in this series, the home team won. And Jokic was the deciding factor, as Minnesota had no answer for him in Game 5. The Joker became the second player in NBA postseason history to finish a game with at least 40 points, 10 assists, and no turnovers, joining Chris Paul (2018). On the night he received his third Most Valuable Player trophy, Jokic showed the basketball world why he was bestowed that honor. He and the Nuggets will look to wrap up the series on Thursday night in Minneapolis. Rotoworld Tuesday, 10:08 pm
       
    • Ruled out for Game 5
      Conley (Achilles) won't play in Tuesday's Game 5 against the Nuggets, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Conley has been downgraded from questionable to out due to right Achilles soreness. In his absence, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Monte Morris will likely receive increased playing time. Conley's next chance to suit up is Game 6 on Thursday. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 6:59 pm
       
    • Shams: Mike Conley (Achilles) ruled out Tuesday
      According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Mike Conley (right Achilles soreness) is out for Tuesday’s Game 5 against the Nuggets.

      Advice: While Conley wasn’t added to the injury report until Tuesday afternoon, Timberwolves coach Chris Finch said his point guard was injured on the final play of Sunday’s Game 4 defeat. His absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup, with Nickeil Alexander-Walker being the most likely candidate to fill it. While Jordan McLaughlin and Monte Morris are traditional point guards, neither defends as well as NAW. Conley’s absence also means even more playmaking opportunities for Anthony Edwards, which could boost his points and assist overs. Rotoworld Tuesday, 6:58 pm
       
    • Mike Conley (Achilles) questionable Tuesday
      Mike Conley (right Achilles) is listed as questionable for Tuesday’s Timberwolves-Nuggets matchup.

      Advice: Conley is fresh off his best scoring performance of the series and totaled 15 points with nine assists in Game 4. Nickeil Alexander-Walker will be in line for a bump in minutes if Conley is ruled out. Rotoworld Tuesday, 11:27 am
       
    • Late addition to injury report
      Conley is questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Nuggets due to right Achilles soreness.

      Advice: Conley is a late addition to Minnesota's injury report but was active during the morning shootaround, per Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast'. The veteran point guard has averaged 11.9 points, 6.4 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 31.2 minutes during the postseason, so his potential absence would be a big blow in a critical road matchup. If Conley is downgraded to out, Monte Morris, Jordan McLaughlin and Nickeil Alexander-Walker would be candidates for increased playing time. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:03 am
       
    • Hands out nine dimes in Game 4 loss
      Conley contributed 15 points (5-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Sunday's 115-107 loss to Denver in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Conley didn't have his best shooting performance, but the veteran point guard keeps finding ways to contribute even when his shot isn't falling. He's now scored in double digits in three of the four games thus far while dishing out at least six assists each time. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:38 am
