Anthony Edwards DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards had a quiet evening in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday, scoring only 16 points on 5-for-13 shooting in a 128-126 loss. A couple more shots and makes from the Timberwolves superstar, and we could be talking about a tied series. However, similarly to the series opener, Edwards struggled to get shots off. Most of his misses came from three-point land with a 1-for-7 effort, and Edwards finished 5-for-7 with his free throws. His night included four rebounds and six assists, but the three-time All-Star also committed five turnovers. Following a quiet Game 1, Edwards was much more active and went off for back-to-back 30-point games. The Timberwolves will be hoping the same happens again, with the team facing elimination in Wednesday's Game 5.

Edwards has averaged 20 shot attempts per game this postseason, so it's quite an achievement for the Thunder to limit him to just 13 shots.
