Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Sails with 32 points
Rotowire
Edwards notched 32 points (10-24 FG, 5-15 3Pt, 7-7 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Thursday's 117-115 victory over the Kings.
Edwards should post video-game numbers on a nightly basis, and he didn't disappoint in his second regular season game. He shared top honors with Julius Randle in Minnesota's first win, and the former will continue to be a blue-chip fantasy option for the foreseeable future.

Rotowire
Edwards totaled 16 points (6-23 FG, 3-16 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists and three steals across 30 minutes in Wednesday's 125-123 preseason loss to the Bulls.
Edwards sank only 26.1 percent of his shots during the preseason loss, well below his 46.1 percent conversion rate from last season. Games like this should be an outlier for Edwards, who is Minnesota's primary scoring weapon and one of the most dynamic players in the league.
Edwards recorded 31 points (11-19 FG, 1-2 FT, 8-13 3Pt), three assists and two rebounds in 26 minutes during Sunday's 115-110 preseason loss to the Knicks.
In his preseason debut, Edwards had a subpar game by his standards, logging 16 points on 14 shots, but he returned to form Sunday, putting down eight three-pointers en route to a game-high 31 points. The 23-year-old pro is coming off a stellar season in which he averaged 25.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.3 steals in 35.1 minutes per game across 79 regular-season contests. He looks poised for another outstanding year.

Edwards looked a bit rusty in the first quarter, but he got it going in the second quarter and made three buckets in a row at one point. The star guard, who will operate as the undisputed go-to player on offense for the Timberwolves following the trade that sent Karl-Anthony Towns to the Knicks, is ramping up with an eye toward being fully ready for the regular-season opener against the Lakers on Opening Night.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Not playing in preseason opener
Rotowire
Edwards (rest) won't play in Friday's preseason contest against the Lakers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
The Lakers are resting LeBron James and Anthony Davis, and the Timberwolves will do the same with Edwards and Julius Randle, so this game will be lacking star power. Edwards is expected to operate as the Timberwolves' go-to player on offense in 2024-25 following the trade that sent Karl-Anthony Towns to the Knicks.
