Anthony Edwards is the leading scorer for the Minnesota Timberwolves, dropping an average of 28.1 points through 19 games this season. Apart from it, he is contributing 4.7 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game. Edwards is shooting 48.8% from the field and 41.6% from the three-point range.

However, before that, he dropped 44 points against the Pelicans and scored 32 points and 39 points in the previous two games.
The Phoenix Suns rank lower than the Wolves in terms of defensive rating, and though there isn’t much difference, Edwards has an upper hand in the upcoming game, considering the homecourt advantage. Considering this, we can expect Ant Man to score over 30 points on Monday.
