Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards has entered the league's health and safety protocols. That means, Edwards won't be available for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. This is a bummer after Edwards knocked down 10 triples during his last contest. His absence should mean Malik Beasley gets plenty of playing time on Friday. He'll be a interesting DFS option while Edwards is sidelined.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards had a crazy night from downtown in Wednesday's win over Denver, going 10-for-14 with the three-ball to finish with a game-high 38 points. He shot 14-for-21 overall from the field and recorded five rebounds and one assist with one steal, one block and two turnovers in 34 minutes. Edwards had shot just 3-for-15 from downtown in his previous two games prior to Wednesday night, so this was a very unexpected explosion. His poor three-point shooting had left a bad mark on Edwards' scoring numbers, but he will have taken a lot of confidence from his Wednesday's performance. Edwards will try his luck next against the Lakers, whose job guarding the three-point line leaves plenty to be desired.

Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard/small forward Anthony Edwards (illness) has been deemed questionable to play in Wednesday's matchup vs. Washington due to flu-like symptoms. Edwards is yet to miss a game this season, so it's not clear how Minnesota would distribute his minutes in the case of an absence, but Malik Beasley, Josh Okogie, and Taurean Prince would be the leading candidates for an elevated workload.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards put together a solid second half of the season in 2020. His rookie campaign started slow, but he showed promising signs of being a cornerstone piece of this organization. Edwards recently mentioned that his goal for this season was to average two or three steals per game. That is quite a big leap for someone who averaged 1.3 steals per 36 minutes last season. His fantasy value would obviously get significantly better if he improved defensively. It seems unlikely that he'll reach his goal, but the fact he wants to get better on defense is positive for fantasy managers. It sounds like Edwards' value is on the rise heading into the season.
