Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Generates double-double in victory
Rotowire
Edwards finished with 15 points (5-19 FG, 0-11 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 11 rebounds, eight assists and three steals in 43 minutes during Wednesday's 103-96 victory over the Lakers in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Although Rudy Gobert was the hero of the series-clinching win, Edwards ended the night with the team's third-highest scoring total.His 15 points marked his lowest scoring total of the series, and his dreadful 0-for-11 night beyond the arc was the culprit. Minnesota's frontcourt carried the load by exploiting the Lakers' small-ball lineup, but the offense should shift back in Edwards' direction in the quarterfinals.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Nudges triple-double in win
Rotowire
Edwards finished with 29 points (12-26 FG, 5-10 3Pt), eight rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals over 42 minutes during Friday's 116-104 victory over the Lakers in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Edwards did a little bit of everything, falling just short of his first triple-double of the season.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Hits for 25 in Game 2 loss
Rotowire
Edwards notched 25 points (10-22 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and six rebounds across 40 minutes during Tuesday's 94-85 loss to the Lakers in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
After erupting for more than 40 points in two of the Timberwolves' last three games in the regular season, Edwards' production to begin the playoffs has been a little more muted. He's still averaging 23.5 points, 7.0 boards, 4.5 assists and 3.0 threes, but his 40.9 percent shooting from the floor and 35.3 percent from beyond the arc are a bit below the standards he established this season. With the series tied 1-1, Edwards will look to solve the Lakers' perimeter defense when the series shifts to Minnesota for Game 3 on Friday.

Rotowire
Edwards provided 22 points (8-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine assists, eight rebounds and one steal across 35 minutes Saturday in the Timberwolves' 117-95 win over the Lakers in Game 1 of the Western Conference quarterfinal-round series.
Edwards didn't have the best first half in Game 1, but made up for it in the second half by coming two rebounds and one assist shy of a triple-double to help lead his team to a win in Los Angeles. Although Naz Reid and Jaden McDaniels stole the show for Minnesota by combining for 48 points, the Timberwolves will need Edwards to keep playing at a high level to pull off a first-round series victory.

Rotowire
The NBA announced Saturday that Edwards' technical foul at 6:29 remaining in the second quarter of Friday's game versus the Nets has been rescinded, meaning he won't be suspended for Sunday's regular-season finale against Utah.
Edwards being able to suit up for Sunday's regular-season finale is actually very important for Minnesota, as a win could potentially mean that they are able to avoid the Play-In. The star guard is averaging 28.5 points across his previous two appearances against the Jazz this season.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Dazzles with 37-point performance
Rotowire
Edwards provided 37 points (12-21 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 7-8 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes during Saturday's 114-109 win over Philadelphia.
Edwards didn't contribute much in other categories outside of the scoring column, but there's no doubt fantasy managers won't complain after a 37-point, six three-pointer performance in which he also delivered a couple of highlight-reel sequences. Edwards has reached the 25-point mark in his last four games and appears to be heading into the postseason with plenty of momentum.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Exits to locker room Thursday
Rotowire
Edwards exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent left ankle injury in the second quarter of Thursday's game against the Nets, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.
Edwards immediately reached for his left ankle after stepping on Brooklyn head coach Jordi Fernandez's foot. The superstar remained on the floor for an extended period and required assistance in making his way back to the locker room. If Edwards is unable to return, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Jaylen Clark are candidates for a bump in minutes the rest of the way.

Despite increased attention from opposing defenses, Edwards is still averaging a solid line of 26.9 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game over his last 10 contests, but he's shooting just 32.7 percent from three in that span.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Subpar display Friday
Rotowire
Edwards registered 17 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two steals in 26 minutes during Friday's 134-93 victory over the Pelicans.
Edwards was bothered by an apparent thigh injury that forced him to exit the contest briefly, but overall, this wasn't the best performance for the superstar guard. However, this was the first time Edwards didn't reach the 25-point threshold since March 7, and the star scorer is simply too talented to struggle over a prolonged stretch. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried by just one bad game for one of the most prolific scorers in The Association.

Rotowire
Edwards contributed 41 points (16-27 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Sunday's 128-102 win over Utah.
It was fairly easy sledding Sunday for Edwards, who hit the 40-point plateau for the seventh time this season in just 31 minutes against a soft Jazz defense. The month of March has been more of the same for the All-Star guard, who has scored in bunches all year long. Edwards is averaging 28.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 4.0 three-pointers in 34.7 minutes over his last eight outings.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Modest showing Tuesday
Rotowire
Edwards finished Tuesday's 126-112 win over the 76ers with 18 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 30 minutes.
The fifth-year guard left the game briefly in the first half to have his left thumb/wrist checked out. While he was able to return to the court before halftime, his lower-than-usual shot volume and production suggest he wasn't feeling 100 percent. Edwards also missed the last game of February with a calf issue. Nagging injuries may be catching up to him, as he's failed to score 20 points in three of his last four appearances. Edwards did erupt for 44 points in the fourth contest Sunday in Phoenix, however, and he remains a must-start in season-long formats unless his health concerns become more serious.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Ejected, earns one-game ban

Edwards threw the ball in the stands as he exited the court following his second technical. If the two technicals are upheld, Edwards will have accrued 16 total technicals for the season, triggering an automatic one-game suspension that would prevent him from playing Friday in Utah. Edwards is expected to be back in Minnesota's starting lineup for the final game of their road trip Sunday in Phoenix.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Will play Thursday
Rotowire
Edwards (calf) will play in Thursday's game against the Lakers, Charlie Walton of ZoneCoverage.com reports.
