Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Drops in 41 points with four steals
Rotowire
Edwards piled up 41 points (14-24 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 8-12 FT), five rebounds, four assists, four steals, one block and five turnovers across 40 minutes during Friday's 114-113 loss to Phoenix.
Edwards had been struggling mightily in his previous three outings, converting just 33.3 percent of his shot attempts while going 2-for-23 from three-point range, but he got things back on track in a big way Friday night as he tied his season high in points. Despite a herculean effort from Edwards, the Wolves weren't able to take home the win, and they're now 0-6 this season against teams over .500.

Rotowire
Edwards totaled 13 points (5-14 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 29 minutes during Monday's 120-96 win over Dallas.
Edwards posted his lowest scoring output in a full game this season, though Minnesota still rolled to a blowout victory.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Goes for 30 points Friday
Rotowire
Edwards contributed 30 points (9-20 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 11-12 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals across 36 minutes during Friday's 124-110 victory over Sacramento.
Edwards struggled with his shot from beyond the arc, going 1-for-7, but he still posted a strong stat line while reaching the 30-point mark for the third time in his last four contests. The hamstring injury that kept Edwards sidelined for four games between Oct. 27 and Nov. 3 is no longer an issue, and Edwards should remain the Timberwolves' undisputed primary scoring weapon every time he steps on the court. Considering he's scored at least 30 points in five of his eight outings in 2025-26, fantasy managers should continue to trust him in every format.

Edwards has been eased back into action since returning from a four-game absence due to a hamstring injury, but he's still averaged 26.0 points, 5.0 threes, 3.7 boards, 3.7 assists and 1.7 steals in 28.3 minutes over the last three contests while shooting a blistering 50.0 percent (15-for-30) from beyond the arc.

Rotowire
Edwards closed with 37 points (12-21 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 26 minutes during Friday's 137-97 win over the Jazz.
The Timberwolves cruised to a 40-point blowout win over the Jazz on Friday, and Edwards was the leading offensive weapon for Minnesota. The 37-point output showed Edwards is fully recovered from the hamstring injury that saw him miss four games in a row between Oct. 27 and Nov. 3. He's also scored at least 30 points in three of his five outings this season. When healthy, Edwards should be a dominant scoring threat every time he steps on the hardwood.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Scores 15 points with two steals
Rotowire
Edwards notched 15 points (5-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five assists, two rebounds, two steals and three turnovers in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 137-114 loss to the Knicks.
Edwards seemed a bit rusty in his first game back from a four-game absence, but he was moving around fine, so hopefully, this is the last we'll hear of the hamstring issue. The Wolves do close out the week with a Sunday-Monday, back-to-back set, so it'll be interesting to see if Ant-Man gets cleared for both of those games.

Edwards will continue to be the focal point in the Timberwolves' offense with Julius Randle the clear second option.
