Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards led all scorers in the 128-91 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday night and gave the team their 39th win heading into the All-Star break. Edwards registered 34 points, seven assists, six rebounds, two steals, one block, and one turnover while boasting a huge +36 which was the highest plus/minus for anyone in this contest. He shot 12-for-21 overall, 3-for-7 from deep, and 7-for-8 from the free throw line. Edwards has improved his scoring output so far this season with 26.3 points per game while also improving his assist numbers and shooting percentages across the board.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (knee) will play on Thursday versus Portland. The 22-year-old was riding a questionable tag throughout the day. He went through shootaround on Thursday afternoon, so most had assumed he'd get the green light. Edwards has had a breakout season, averaging a career-high 26.1 points per game. He's only missed three games in 2023-24 and six total in the last two seasons, so his durability gives him more value on the fantasy end.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (knee) is questionable for Thursday's clash with the Portland Trail Blazers. The ailment isn't anything new for the 2020 No. 1 overall pick. It also hasn't kept him off the floor recently. He's coming off a 41-point outing on Tuesday against Portland, the first of consecutive meetings between the clubs. Of course, Edwards should remain in all fantasy lineups, assuming he's available. But if he's not, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, averaging 9.3 points and 1.1 steals in 16 starts during the 2023-24 campaign, would be worth streaming in deep fantasy setups.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (knee) will suit up ahead of Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The young guard was a late addition to the injury report due to right knee soreness. Despite that, Edwards will suit up and there is no indication that he'll be limited at all during this game. Edwards should resume his role in the starting five which means fantasy managers should feel safe plugging him back into their lineups.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (illness) will play during Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Edwards was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness. Despite that, Edwards will be able to suit up and should play his normal role during Monday's contest. Nickeil Alexander-Walker was going to see a bump in value with Edwards out. However, he should remain relevant in the rotation with Mike Conley (hamstring) sidelined for this game.

Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch says guard Anthony Edwards (knee) will play against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. Edwards has been upgraded from questionable to available with tendinitis in his left knee against a woeful Pistons team, but Minnesota could keep an eye on his minutes if they form a significant lead, creating blowout risk for DFS purposes. That shouldn't deter season-long fantasy managers from deploying Ant-Man across all formats, though, as he's playing top-50 ball with averages of 26.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 2.5 threes, and 1.3 steals over 36 games. Minny has a quick turnaround in the form of a matchup on Thursday versus the injury-depleted Memphis Grizzlies to begin a three-game homestand, so Edwards' status for that one remains to be seen.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Edwards played 38 minutes on Sunday with a wrap around his left knee. Given how poorly the Pistons are playing right now, the Wolves may decide to give Edwards a rest day. Fantasy managers will have to wait for another update on Wednesday. Nickeil Alexander-Walker would likely be asked to move into the starting five if Edwards sits out. He'd be worth a look as a streaming option given extended playing time.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (hip) has been upgraded to available on Monday and will take on the Miami Heat. The star guard was originally questionable with a hip pointer but his fantasy managers can let out a sigh of relief now. He was able to play in their last matchup against the Indiana Pacers where he put up 37 points, four assists, two rebounds, and three steals. Since he'll be on the floor in this game, he should be back in all lineups regardless of the fantasy league format. The last time Edwards played the Heat, he was able to post 19 points, seven assists, and two rebounds.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (hip) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against Indiana. He continues to battle a right hip issue and didn't look great Thursday versus Dallas when returning from a one-game absence, shooting only 3-for-19 from the field for a nine-point effort. Nickeil Alexander-Walker has seen his role increase during Edwards' battle with injury, while Troy Brown Jr. also has a chance to earn more minutes if he's unavailable. Saturday's matchup is a great spot for targeting Timberwolves players, as the meeting with the Pacers is expected to be the highest-scoring game on the slate, with the total standing at 242.5.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (hip) is available for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The young guard has missed three of the last five games due to a right hip pointer. The T-Wolves have cleared Edwards for this game and he'll slide into his normal role in the starting five. The expectation is that Kyle Anderson, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, and Troy Brown Jr. will all lose fantasy value with Edwards back in the rotation. Fantasy managers can feel comfortable getting Edwards back in their lineups.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (hip) participated in Wednesday's practice and is officially being listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Edwards sustained a right hip pointer on Nov. 28 following a hard fall, missed two games with the injury, and was then held to four minutes last Friday after re-aggravating the issue in his second game back on the floor. After missing Monday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans, Minnesota's franchise cornerstone looks to have a good chance of suiting up again on Thursday. Troy Brown Jr. has averaged 29.3 minutes in Edwards' three full games missed this year, but he's only netting 7.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.0 triples per game over this stretch.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (hip) is regarded as questionable for Monday's clash with the Pelicans. He was limited to just four minutes last time out against Memphis and continues to deal with a right hip issue, which recently kept him off the court for two games. The Timberwolves have continued to win despite Edwards' health issues, so the league leaders likely won't want to rush him back. Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Troy Brown Jr. are first in line to benefit from Edwards' absence.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (hip) is expected to undergo testing on Saturday. The 22-year-old missed two games because of a hip pointer before returning for Wednesday's meeting with the San Antonio Spurs, scoring 17 points in 37 minutes. However, he lasted only four minutes against the Grizzlies on Friday before aggravating the injury. At this rate, it appears Edwards could miss more games moving ahead, which would be a tough blow for the first-place Timberwolves. It will also be unfortunate for fantasy managers, considering the 2020 No. 1 overall pick has averaged 24.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 1.2 steals throughout the 2023-24 campaign. If Edwards misses time, Nickeil Alexander-Walker would presumably see a noticeable uptick in production, giving him value for those needing to fill a hole in their fantasy lineup.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards was limited to only four minutes of action Friday versus Memphis after tweaking his previous hip injury. He recently missed two games with a right hip pointer problem. It was his second game back from the injury. Troy Brown Jr. logged a pair of starts in Edwards' absence and also replaced him in the starting unit in the second half on Friday. He had a great game with 20 points on 8-for-10 shooting. The same goes for Shake Milton, who also received some extra work and put up 17 points in 22 minutes off the bench. The two could get a larger role again on Monday versus New Orleans if Edwards can't play, although both have been far from consistent performers and could easily disappoint fantasy managers.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (hip) will play on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs and head coach Chris Finch said that he won't be restricted either. Edwards has been the leader of the team's offense as the Timberwolves currently sit at the top of the Western Conference. He's missed the last two games with a hip issue, so his return will be welcomed by the team and fantasy managers alike.

Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch says guard Anthony Edwards (hip) is "trending towards" playing on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs, and Minnesota will see how Edwards feels before making a decision. Edwards could be shaping up as a true game-time decision even after practicing Monday, with his status at Wednesday morning's shootaround the next chance we'll have to paint a clearer picture on his ability to suit up. Edwards sustained a right hip pointer in last Tuesday's game, forcing him to miss Minny's latest two contests. The 22-year-old All-Star is notching early-round fantasy figures, averaging 26.2 points, 5.0 assists, 2.5 threes, and 1.3 steals in 35.1 minutes over 17 games this year. Swingman Troy Brown Jr. has averaged 30.3 minutes covering two starts in Edwards' stead, while Karl-Anthony Towns has asserted himself as the Wolves' offensive centerpiece with two 20-shot showings in a row.

Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch says guard Anthony Edwards (hip) is day-to-day after practicing on Monday, according to Pierre Noujaim of Fox 9. Edwards "should be almost ready" for Wednesday's game versus the San Antonio Spurs. Edwards sustained a right hip pointer late in last Tuesday's game after taking a hard fall to the ground on a dunk attempt, forcing him to miss Minnesota's most recent two contests. Finch's words certainly give the 22-year-old All-Star a chance to return on Wednesday, and Edwards' ability to practice reinforces this notion. Edwards is posting early-round fantasy numbers, averaging 26.2 points, 5.0 assists, 2.5 threes, and 1.3 steals in 35.1 minutes over 17 games this year. Swingman Troy Brown Jr. has started both games in Edwards' stead (30.3 minutes per game), while Karl-Anthony Towns has taken over as the Wolves' offensive focal point with consecutive 20-shot efforts.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (hip) isn't available for Saturday's matchup with the Charlotte Hornets. Edwards will now miss his second consecutive game because of a hip pointer, which he picked up on Tuesday night versus OKC. That said, Edwards is having the best season of his young career, so fantasy managers are hoping he'll be back on Wednesday night against the visiting Spurs. But in the meantime, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, fresh off a 20-point, seven-assist, two-block performance in 36 minutes, should remain in the starting lineup and continue to be a popular fantasy option.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (hip) isn't expected to suit up on Saturday against Charlotte. The 22-year-old, who has averaged a career-high 26.2 points in 2023-24, appeared in 79 games last season. However, Edwards is now in danger of missing another one, although he's likely doing everything he can to get back on the floor. Assuming he's ruled out for a second-straight game, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, coming off a 20-point performance on Thursday versus Utah, would presumably remain in the starting lineup. Of course, Alexander-Walker would likely continue to see plenty of attention from DFS participants and managers looking for a streaming option in season-long setups.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (hip) was not seen at morning shootaround ahead of Thursday's game versus the Utah Jazz. Teammate Kyle Anderson said the Wolves are prepping as if Edwards won't be playing on Thursday. Edwards remains formally listed as doubtful on Minnesota's official injury report, but it's becoming increasingly apparent that he won't be active against the Jazz. The dynamic 22-year-old suffered a right hip pointer on the brunt of a scary fall following a dunk attempt in the third quarter of Tuesday's eventual 106-103 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, but he thankfully avoided a more significant injury. Edwards should be deemed day-to-day leading into Saturday against the Charlotte Hornets. The aforementioned Kyle Anderson should see more run with Edwards likely out against Utah, while Karl-Anthony Towns and Mike Conley should dominate playmaking responsibilities.
