Mike Conley to see larger role in Jazz offense
Utah Jazz point guard Mike Conley is expected to pick up many of Bojan Bogdanovic's minutes and touches.
Bogdanovic has been ruled out for the rest of the season as he continues to rehab from wrist surgery. "There will be more opportunity, and Mike is in position to take a lot of that," teammate Joe Ingles said. "It’s a role that he’s ready for and one that he’s excited for. He’s going to be a big piece heading into this last stretch.” Bogdanovic has played the third-most minutes (2,083) on the Jazz and owns the second-highest usage rate (25.6 percent), so there's lots of available opportunity. Conley has a 24.0 percent usage rate when Bogdanovic is off the floor this season.
numberFire's models expect Conley to average 14.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 0.9 steals, and 1.8 3-pointers per game over the rest of the season. He's averaging 0.9 FanDuel points per minute without Bogdanovic.
