Anthony Edwards Drops Career-High 28 Points
Anthony Edwards finished with a career-high 28 points in Tuesday's loss to the Lakers. The forward also added seven rebounds, five assists, two blocks, and one steal in 34 minutes. Edwards has been averaging 14.3 points per game so far in his rookie year, but he's now posted at least 18 points in five of the past six games and his fantasy value is trending upwards. Up next is a matchup on Wednesday against a Pacers defense that is top-10, so Edwards will certainly face more of a challenge.

Anthony Edwards Uncertain To Play On Monday
Anthony Edwards (thumb) is questionable for Monday's meeting with the Pacers. He has a laceration on his right thumb, although it's unknown how severe the Injury is. With the postseason right around the corner, the team may take the cautious approach by keeping him off the floor to avoid further damage. If that's the case, Julius Randle, amassing a team-high 20 points in Friday's win over the Pelicans, should see an uptick in production. Jaden McDaniels, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, and Donte DiVincenzo figure to also see more scoring opportunities.

Anthony Edwards Back In Action Against Phoenix
Anthony Edwards (calf) will play on Sunday against Phoenix. He wasn't available for Friday's loss to the Jazz because of a calf injury, marking his third absence of the 2024-25 campaign. Terrence Shannon Jr. entered the starting lineup, finishing with an impressive 17 points, five assists and four boards. But with Edwards and Julius Randle (groin) back in the mix, Shannon likely won't be as productive, although he's played well enough to at least see some minutes on Sunday night.

Anthony Edwards Suspended, Will Miss Friday's Game
Anthony Edwards (suspension) has been suspended for receiving his 16th technical foul of the season and will miss Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. This is only a one-game suspension, so he should return on Sunday to face the Phoenix Suns. In the meantime, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Terrence Shannon Jr. should both see added time, especially if Donte DiVincenzo (questionable - toe) doesn't suit up. Alexander-Walker posted 14 points, two rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block while Shannon had 25 points, five rebounds, and two assists in their last game on Thursday.

Anthony Edwards Tagged As Questionable For Thursday
Anthony Edwards (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Edwards has been dealing with a sore right calf lately, but it hasn't forced him to the sideline. He has played in six straight games and nearly notched a triple-double during his last two games. The expectation is that Edwards is going to be out there, barring any setbacks. If he sits, Nickeil Alexander-Walker would likely start and see increased fantasy value.
