Despite the loss and the shooting struggles, Edwards has scored at least 20 points in four of the five games in the current series.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Pours in 36 in Game 1 win
Rotowire
Edwards amassed 36 points (12-23 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 8-8 FT), two rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal across 40 minutes during Saturday's 130-117 win over the Grizzlies.
The second-year wing seemed to come into his own down the stretch for Minnesota, and Edwards carried that momentum right into the play-in tournament and the postseason. Not counting the final game of the regular season, when the Timberwolves had nothing on the line and he played only 18 minutes, Edwards has scored at least 30 points in four of his last five games, averaging 33.2 points, 5.0 assists, 4.6 boards, 4.0 threes and 1.0 steals in those contests. With the 20-year-old emerging as a true superstar alongside Karl-Anthony Towns, Minnesota may be a legitimate threat for a deep run in the Western Conference.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Leads team with 30 points
Rotowire
Edwards registered 30 points (10-21 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 109-104 victory over the Clippers.
The Clippers tried a variety of defensive schemes in an attempt to contain Edwards, but the size mismatch opposite Marcus Morris and the defensive skills of Paul George were unable to stop him. Edwards joined D'Angelo Russell to spur a massive rally, putting the Timberwolves back in the lead in the fourth quarter. Edwards and company will now move into the playoff bracket to face the Grizzlies, who will have their hands full against Minnesota's excellent backcourt.

Rotowire
Edwards notched 18 points (8-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and four assists in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 132-114 loss to the Wizards.
Though his total scoring output wouldn't necessarily indicate a poor offensive outing, Edwards struggled from distance and converted just 16.7 percent. The Georgia product has drained just 27.8 percent of his looks from three over his last two games, which is well below his season average of 36.0 percent. However, Edwards is still averaging a solid 25.5 points this week, as his scoring ability inside the arc continues to excel.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Meager production in win
Rotowire
Edwards logged five points (2-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 30 minutes during Monday's 149-139 victory over San Antonio.
Edwards missed the first week of March due to a knee injury, but despite being listed on the injury report, he's been able to suit up for the past four games. He had scored in double figures in each of the previous three contests, but the second-year wing took a backseat to Karl Anthony-Towns on Monday. As for now, it seems like the poor production was simply a factor of deferring to the hot hand and has nothing to do with the lingering knee issue, but fantasy managers are still implored to monitor his status closely to ensure that's the case.
