The Utah Jazz are listing point guard Mike Conley as probable to face the Orlando Magic on Tuesday.
Conley has missed five games in a row due to a hamstring injury he suffered against the Philadelphia 76ers on Dec. 2:

The Jazz are 15-11 on the season. They are in the sixth spot in the Western Conference standings.
In his first season with the Jazz, Conley is averaging 13.9 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4.6 assists in 21 games. The lefty is shooting just 36.9 percent from the field, 37.4 percent from beyond the arc and 79.5 percent from the free-throw line.
The Jazz need two things from Conley: One, he has to get healthy. And two, the guard has to start playing better if Utah wants to climb up in the West standings. Conley is too smart of a player to shoot this poorly from the floor. The Jazz need the Mike Conley who put up 21.1 points per game last season with the Memphis Grizzlies.
Utah acquired Conley because it wanted another dynamic scorer and playmaker next to high-flyer Donovan Mitchell. Hopefully some rest was just what Conley needed to get back on track. We'll see how he looks on Tuesday against the Magic assuming he doesn't suffer a setback.
