Fri Mar 817:48Anthony Edwards Appears On The Injury Report
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (ankle) is questionable for Friday's matchup with Cleveland. The 22-year-old had a massive 44 points on Thursday versus the Indiana Pacers. However, he tweaked his ankle in that one, so fantasy managers had an idea he'd show up on the injury report heading toward Friday's game. Luckily, Edwards is one of the most durable players in the league, meaning it would take a lot to keep him off the floor. But things happen, with Nickeil Alexander-Walker in line to start if Edwards gets ruled out. Alexander-Walker has averaged 9.5 points and 1.1 steals in 17 starts this season. Although those numbers aren't the best, they are good enough to get him into some fantasy lineups.

Fri Mar 809:48Anthony Edwards Pours In 44 Points
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards is going to be very busy trying to carry the team's offense into the playoffs while they wait for Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) to return. That was evident during their two-point win over the Indiana Pacers on Thursday night. Edwards finished the game with 44 points on 18-for-35 shooting while adding six rebounds, three assists, two steals, two blocks, and zero turnovers. The biggest play of the night was a game-saving block as time ran out. Edwards is going to be at an all-time fantasy value high through this last part of the regular season, but fantasy managers may want to temper expectations with field goal percentages if he's going to be shooting this much.

Sat Mar 218:42Anthony Edwards Tagged As Questionable For Sunday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. This doesn't come as a surprise after Edwards was forced to exit early on Friday. Nickeil Alexander-Walker will likely be given the starting nod if Edwards isn't able to suit up on Sunday. He'd be worth a look as a streaming option if given an expanded role. Fantasy managers will have to check back before tip-off on Sunday.

Fri Mar 123:55Anthony Edwards Exits Early On Friday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (personal) exited Friday's overtime loss to the Sacramento Kings. He did not return and finished with 11 points in 19 minutes. The 22-year-old was questionable heading into this contest because of an ankle injury, which he picked up on Tuesday night against the San Antonio Spurs. Fortunately, Edwards didn't suffer another injury. Instead, he exited due to the birth of his child. That said, Minnesota plays again on Sunday versus the visiting Los Angeles Clippers. For now, fantasy managers should consider Edwards questionable heading into that one, although there should be further updates on Saturday. If he doesn't suit up, Nickeil Alexander-Walker would presumably fill the void in the lineup.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's encounter with the Sacramento Kings. The 22-year-old tweaked his ankle in Tuesday's win over the San Antonio Spurs and carried an injury designation ahead of Wednesday's meeting with the Memphis Grizzlies. However, he still played and scored a game-high 34 points in 40 minutes. At any rate, it would certainly be surprising if Edwards doesn't play, but anything is possible. If he can't suit up, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, averaging 9.3 points, 3.2 assists, and 1.1 steals in 16 starts during the 2023-24 campaign, would warrant streaming consideration in all formats.

He tweaked his ankle during Tuesday's victory over the San Antonio Spurs, although he still logged 33 minutes and scored a game-high 34 points. However, the 22-year-old is one of the most durable players in the National Basketball Association, so it would have taken a lot to keep him off the floor. Of course, Edwards is a must-start in all fantasy leagues. But he's averaged only 17.3 points in three meetings versus the Grizzlies this year, meaning he may not be an ideal DFS option.

Thu Feb 1500:30Anthony Edwards Back On The Injury Report
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.

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.

Wed Jan 1718:27Minnesota Says Anthony Edwards Will Play Wednesday
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.

Tue Jan 1622:02Anthony Edwards Uncertain For Wednesday
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.

Since he'll be on the floor in this game, he should be back in all lineups regardless of the fantasy league format.

Sat Dec 16 202309:28Anthony Edwards Questionable For Saturday
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.

Thu Dec 14 202320:23Anthony Edwards To Play On Thursday

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.

Wed Dec 13 202318:23Anthony Edwards Questionable Thursday After Practicing
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.
