Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Goes for 23 points Friday
Anthony Edwards ended Friday's 97-87 win over the Lakers with 23 points (9-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 33 minutes.Edwards led the way for the Minnesota Timberwolves in scoring once again, and even though he exited the game briefly in the second half, that didn't prevent him from carrying Minnesota to a 10-point win in this low-scoring matchup.

Even though he had a minor two-game stretch in which he struggled badly in early December, he's turned things around with three straight outings with at least 23 points. Edwards is averaging a career-high 26.3 points per game this season, and his 42.3 percent from three-point range is also a career-best figure for the five-year veteran.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Struggles with shot Wednesday
Anthony Edwards closed Wednesday's 108-80 win over the Clippers with 16 points (5-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and four steals across 26 minutes.Even though Edwards bounced back from the eight-point dud he posted in the win over the Lakers on Monday, it's worth noting he's gone back-to-back games without reaching the 20-point threshold for the first time this season. The shooting woes are real with Edwards, although, to be fair, he wasn't expected to maintain the elite numbers he posted in the first weeks of the campaign throughout an entire season. Edwards is shooting just 34 percent from the floor over his last five games, but fantasy managers shouldn't be overly worried about this slump. After all, Edwards remains one of the best shooting guards in the league and is likely to bounce back sooner rather than later.
