Anthony Edwards's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (finger) is expected to play on Tuesday against Denver, according to Tim MacMahon of ESPN. Edwards hurt his left middle finger on a spectacular dunk over John Collins in Monday's clash with Utah, and the team listed him as questionable on the initial injury report ahead of Tuesday's contest. Minnesota's young star has a chance to record a fourth consecutive 30-point game on Tuesday, although the injury could hold him back a little.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (finger) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Edwards sustained a left middle finger dislocation/sprain on a dunk-of-the-year candidate during Monday's victory over the Utah Jazz, clouding his availability in this battle for the West's No. 1 seed. Mike Conley would serve as Minnesota's primary playmaker if Edwards is out, with Nickeil Alexander-Walker likely joining the starting lineup. Over his last 12 games as a starter, Alexander-Walker is averaging 12.0 points, 3.5 assists, 2.9 rebounds, 2.4 three-pointers, and 1.3 steals but gets a tough matchup against a Nuggets team allowing the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing shooting guards.
