Utah Jazz point guard Mike Conley is being replaced in the starting lineup by Royce O'Neale, reports Shams Charania and Tony Jones of The Athletic.
The Jazz view O'Neale as the team's best perimeter defender, so they're switching it up following three straight losses out of the All-Star break. Conley will still play a significant role, but the move to the second unit could open up things on offense for Joe Ingles. The veteran point guard scored just 8 points in 22.4 minutes last game. The lineup change will begin in Wednesday night's game against the Boston Celtics.
numberFire's models expect Conley to score 23.4 FanDuel points on Wednesday. He's priced at $5,700.
