Held in check by Lakers
Edwards posted 14 points (2-15 FG, 1-10 3Pt, 9-10 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 120-106 loss to the Lakers.
Analysis
Edwards was ice-cold in the loss, connecting on only two shots. His nine points at the charity stripe softened the blow slightly. The last time Edwards' scoring total dipped below 20 points was before the All-Star break, when he collected 14 points against Portland. He's finished with fewer than 20 points only eight times this season, and while credit is due to the Lakers' defense, Edwards' performance is certainly an outlier.

Game-high 34 not enough Saturday
Edwards totaled 34 points (8-18 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 13-14 FT), three rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals in 32 minutes during Saturday's 119-92 loss to the Magic.
Analysis
The 34 points led all scorers on the afternoon, but only three other Timberwolves even scored in double digits. Edwards has drained multiple three-pointers in 10 straight games, averaging 29.5 points, 4.8 boards, 4.3 threes, 3.4 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.9 blocks over that blistering stretch.

Stays hot from deep
Edwards logged 22 points (8-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 34 minutes during the Timberwolves' 115-107 win over the Raptors on Thursday.
Analysis
Edwards entered Thursday's contest on the heels of a 41-point outburst against the Grizzlies on Tuesday, when he went 7-for-13 from three-point range. He stayed hot from beyond the arc against Toronto, and it was the 19th time this season that he connected on at least five three-pointers. Since the All-Star break, Edwards has averaged 31.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.9 steals over 36.7 minutes per game while connecting on 51.3 percent of his field-goal attempts (including 42.9 percent from three on 10.0 3PA/G).

Good to go vs. Toronto
Edwards (foot) is available for Thursday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis
Edwards was carrying a questionable tag earlier in the day due to foot injury maintenance as Minnesota appeared to be weighing giving him a night off, but the team has since cleared him to play Thursday. The star guard is fresh off a 41-point showing Tuesday against Memphis and has put up 20 or more points in six straight outings.

Questionable for Thursday
Edwards (foot) is questionable for Thursday's game versus Toronto.
Analysis
Edwards was a late addition to the injury report with a familiar issue. Presumably, the Timberwolves are contemplating a maintenance day for their franchise player. If Edwards is held out, the team will likely need Ayo Dosunmu and Bones Hyland to step into larger roles.
