Minnesota Timberwolves small forward Anthony Edwards (knee) and point/shooting guard D'Angelo Russell (shin) have been cleared to take the floor for Friday's game against Chicago.

At 22 PPG, Edwards has begun to emerge as a star, while Russell has averaged 19 points, seven assists, and three made triples per outing. Wing players have proposed particular struggles for Chicago's defense this year, elevating Edwards' appeal in the DFS market.
