Edwards got off to a scorching hot start to this game, entering the break with 25 points. However, he went ice-cold in the second half and wasn’t able to add to what could have been a monster night for him. It ended up being an inefficient shooting night, but he also has 12 turnovers over his last two games. He’ll look to clean that up against the Clippers on Thursday.

Edwards was coming off a 40-point performance in the win over the Mavericks on Friday. The 24-year-old shooting guard still had a good game with 28 points on 19 field goal attempts, though it wasn’t enough to earn the victory against the 76ers on Sunday. Edwards has provided 12th-overall per game value this season, according to Basketball Monster. The Timberwolves have three games upcoming in Week 18, starting with a matchup against the Trail Blazers on Tuesday.

Edwards put on a show on Friday, making it eight games this season with 40 points or more. As has been the case for most of this season, Ant-Man was at his best when the Timberwolves needed him most, shooting 6-of-8 from the field in the fourth quarter. Edwards and the Timberwolves play one more game in Week 17, as they host the 76ers on Sunday.

Edwards received 10 of the 14 votes for MVP of the All-Star Game, with Kawhi Leonard receiving the other four. Edwards’ highest-scoring game was the first matchup with Team World, which ended with a Scottie Barnes game-winning triple after Edwards forced overtime with a three-pointer of his own. They lost to Team USA Stars in the second game of the night, but they got revenge in the championship by winning 47-21. Edwards has had his best season as a scorer thus far and will look to build on this performance with a strong finish to this season.

Due to an illness, Edwards was initially questionable for Wednesday’s game. That may have factored into his attempting just ten shots, but he still made half of them. That included a 4-of-6 night from beyond the arc and a complete stat line. So, all wasn’t lost for those who had Edwards on their fantasy rosters. After the All-Star break, the Timberwolves play two more games to conclude Week 17.

After being held to 23 points in Minnesota’s last game, Edwards was able to get back on track by scoring 30 points for the fifth time in his last six games. He has enjoyed the best scoring season of his career. It isn’t often that teams are able to slow him down, and it certainly doesn’t happen in two consecutive games. They’ll host Portland on Wednesday in what will be their final game before the All-Star break; Edwards scored 41 points the last time they played the Trail Blazers, which was in the season opener.

Edwards and the Timberwolves were unable to bounce back from Friday’s disappointing loss to the Pelicans, as Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers grabbed control early and never let go. Ant-Man’s final stat line was decent, but not at the level that many fantasy managers expect of him. His streak of games with at least 30 points ended at four, and Edwards will look to start a new one on Monday against the Hawks. The Timberwolves play four games in Week 17, two on each side of the All-Star break.

Make it four consecutive games with at least 30 points for Edwards, who led all scorers with 35 in Friday’s defeat. As has been the case on multiple occasions this season, the Timberwolves’ offense grew stagnant in crunch time, and that was costly. Over the past two weeks, Edwards has been a first-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats, enhancing his season-long value. The Timberwolves end Week 16 on Sunday against the Clippers.

With the Timberwolves leading by two points with just over one minute remaining at the end of regulation, Edwards drove the lane on Raptors forward Brandon Ingram before hitting a turnaround jumper that gave his team a two-possession lead. The 24-year-old shooting guard was excellent in the fourth quarter as the Timberwolves came back from down 10 points to win. Edwards has provided third-round per game value over the last two weeks. He’ll have another chance for a big game Friday against the Pelicans.

While Edwards is back on the injury report, the good news is that it’s because of a sore left elbow rather than the lingering right foot issue. With the Timberwolves trading Mike Conley on Tuesday, Bones Hyland would be the likely replacement in the lineup if Ant-Man can’t play.

It has been nearly two months since Edwards last scored less than 20 points in a game, and this was the second game in a row that he scored at least 30 points, with both games being played in Memphis. However, they ended up on the wrong side of the scoreboard in this one, which ended a four-game winning streak. He is having the best season of his career by averaging a career high for points while also having the best field goal and three-point percentage of his career. He’ll look to stay hot in Toronto on Wednesday.

Edwards is dealing with back spasms. His status is up in the air for Monday’s game against the Grizzlies. If he’s ruled out, Mike Conley could start in his place, though Bones Hyland has been the better streaming option when Edwards has missed games before.

Edwards and the Timberwolves brought increased defensive intensity from the start of Thursday’s game, and it paid immense dividends, as they won 123-111, a score that wasn’t as close as the final would indicate. He led the way offensively with 26 points, shooting over 50 percent from the field and dishing out five assists. Over the past two weeks, Edwards has been a top-10 player in eight-cat formats.

Edwards had a difficult time inside the arc on Wednesday, making three of his 13 attempts. However, that was the lone negative for the guard, who recorded a complete line in his 38 minutes on the floor. The question now is whether Edwards will be able to play the second game of the back-to-back on Thursday against the Thunder. He did not play in Monday’s win over the Warriors, which was Minnesota’s second game in as many nights.

Edwards is a new addition to the injury report, with right foot injury management as the reason for his inclusion. Given the timing of the injury update, there’s a real possibility that he doesn’t play.

He scored 30 points in the final frame, nearly dragging the Timberwolves to a win after trailing by as much as 25. Edwards’ 55 is a career-high, and he did so on excellent percentages.

Friday’s game will be Edwards’ second on the sidelines as he sits due to right foot injury maintenance. Mike Conley moved into the starting lineup and should retain that role, but Edwards’ absence also enhances Bones Hyland’s value. If fantasy managers are seeking a streaming option, Hyland is the superior choice.
