Anthony Edwards Leads Series In Scoring
The Minnesota Timberwolves are entering the postseason without any expectations. That makes them dangerous, as they should be playing loose and with high energy. This is a young team that plays their style and beat a very tough, gritty LA Clippers team to earn this spot.
One of the standouts from that Play-In Tournament game was Anthony Edwards. The second-year shooting guard made strides this season, improving across the board as you would hope from a top pick.
He averaged 21.3 points per game to go along with 4.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.5 steals. Memphis is a very good defensive team, so they will come up with some schemes to slow down Edwards, but he is a very talented player and will get his.
This will be the first time, other than the Play-In Game, that many fans will be seeing Edwards play. They will be in for a treat, as he is one of the best young players in the NBA. He will showcase that throughout the series, as Edwards will be the highest scoring player between the two teams.

He poured in a team-high 30 points against the Clippers, knocking down five 3-pointers. If his jump shot is on, it will be very difficult to slow down. Look for Edwards to top the 30-point per game plateau to pace everyone in the series.
