Minnesota’s net rating is 6.4 points per 100 possessions better when Conley is on the floor, according to Cleaning the Glass, which is the team’s third-best on/off number and second-best among starters behind Rudy Gobert. That translates to about 16 more wins with Conley than without.

Conley missed the past two games with a big toe sprain and he is not listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's 7:10 p.m. CT start. With Conley back in the starting lineup, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Donte DiVincenzo, who have started in Conley's place on different occasions, will be back on the bench in reserve roles.

The Timberwolves have shot sub-43% in all four games played without Mike Conley this season. Subsequently, those were four losses — including Minnesota’s previous three games leading up to Conley’s return from a sprained toe Wednesday against the Kings.
