Anthony Edwards ($9,600) has been listed as questionable for Sunday’s matchup vs. the Spurs due to right foot injury maintenance reasons.
This is the second leg of a back-to-back set for the Timberwolves and Edwards was initially listed as questionable for Saturday’s 146-134 loss to the Cavaliers before suiting up and scoring 25 points across 35.1 minutes.
Edwards hasn’t missed a game since Dec. 17, so he is due for a night off, but the durable guard has a knack for playing through questionable tags, with yesterday being just the most recent example. Edwards is averaging 29.1 PPG on 50% shooting this season, both of which are career-bests.
Edwards is leading Minnesota with a 31.3% usage rate and if he sits, Bones Hyland ($3,200) would likely start and be an elite punt play for DFS, while Julius Randle ($8,300) would also be a strong target. With Edwards inactive this season, Randle is leading the Timberwolves with 45 FPTS per game and a 30.2% usage rate.
Minnesota is 4-3 with Edwards inactive this season and they are a 1.5-point home favorite over the Spurs on DraftKings Sportsbook, which is also San Antonio’s second game in two nights.
