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.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Scores 29 despite shooting woes
Rotowire
Edwards closed Wednesday's 119-115 loss to New Orleans with 29 points (5-19 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 15-17 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 38 minutes.
Edwards finished with a loaded stat line, though his ability to get to the charity stripe was what saved him in this one -- he scored more than 50 percent of his total scoring haul with free throws while shooting nearly 25 percent from the floor. The Timberwolves won't be successful if Edwards continues to struggle from the floor, although this might have been a one-off situation. Over his last five outings, Edwards is making 44.1 percent of his shots from the floor.

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
Rotowire
Edwards amassed 18 points (6-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal in 26 minutes before getting ejected with 5:27 remaining in third quarter of Thursday's 111-102 loss after picking up his second technical foul of the game.
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.
