Minnesota Says Anthony Edwards Will Play Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch says guard Anthony Edwards (knee) will play against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. Edwards has been upgraded from questionable to available with tendinitis in his left knee against a woeful Pistons team, but Minnesota could keep an eye on his minutes if they form a significant lead, creating blowout risk for DFS purposes. That shouldn't deter season-long fantasy managers from deploying Ant-Man across all formats, though, as he's playing top-50 ball with averages of 26.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 2.5 threes, and 1.3 steals over 36 games. Minny has a quick turnaround in the form of a matchup on Thursday versus the injury-depleted Memphis Grizzlies to begin a three-game homestand, so Edwards' status for that one remains to be seen.

Anthony Edwards Uncertain For Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Edwards played 38 minutes on Sunday with a wrap around his left knee. Given how poorly the Pistons are playing right now, the Wolves may decide to give Edwards a rest day. Fantasy managers will have to wait for another update on Wednesday. Nickeil Alexander-Walker would likely be asked to move into the starting five if Edwards sits out. He'd be worth a look as a streaming option given extended playing time.

Julius Randle Posts 30-Point Game In Loss

New York Knicks forward Julius Randle posted the highest scoring total for the team and did everything he could to squeak out a win, but ultimately fell short. In the four-point loss, Randle finished with 32 points, six rebounds, five assists, two steals, and four turnovers. He shot 12-for-23 from the floor, 2-for-7 from deep, and 6-for-7 from the free throw line. This was his seventh 30-point game of the season and his eighth with 30 or more. Interestingly enough, the Knicks are 4-4 when Randle scores at least 30 points. For those fantasy managers who have Randle in category leagues, he's producing top-50 value as long as the team doesn't depend on low turnover totals. He's been a force for the Knicks this season and it's been great to see him bounce back from some tough times in New York.

Minnesota Clears Mike Conley From Injury Report

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley (rest) isn't spotted on the team's injury report leading into Friday's matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers. Minnesota gave Conley, who had participated in all of their 36 games this season, a night off for Wednesday's loss to the Boston Celtics, but they will have him available on Friday. Disruptive defender Nickeil Alexander-Walker filled the void in head coach Chris Finch's starting backcourt against the Celtics, notching 15 points, four rebounds, three assists, three treys, one steal, and one block in Wednesday's 40-minute spot start. Look for NAW to return to the bench and lose fantasy value on Friday. Kyle Anderson has a chance to remain in the first unit, however, with the 'Wolves listing Rudy Gobert (hip) as questionable after sitting out on Wednesday.

Chris Finch Says Rudy Gobert Is Out

Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch says center Rudy Gobert (hip) is out on Wednesday against the Boston Celtics. Gobert is dealing with soreness in his left hip and will sit out on the second half of Minnesota's back-to-back set. Though some of the luster from this clash of the titans may be dissipated with Kristaps Porzingis (knee) also out for Boston, Gobert's absence is a big upgrade for the outlooks of Al Horford and the Celtics' ability to penetrate the paint. Karl-Anthony Towns would figure to be joined in the starting frontcourt by per-minute machine Naz Reid, who deserves plenty of DFS attention on Wednesday. In 12 games without Gobert in 2022-23, Reid averaged 16.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.7 treys, and 2.4 combined steals and blocks. Point forward Kyle Anderson should also get more playing time to match up with a Celts squad missing their top big man.
