Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards is questionable for the road game against the OKC Thunder.
The 24-year-old guard is dealing with right knee soreness.
Edwards’ Impact on the Timberwolves
Edwards is averaging a team-high 29.7 points for Minnesota (41-26).
Minnesota earned a 127-117 road win over the Golden State Warriors on Friday.
Thunder’s Recent Form
OKC (52-15) is fresh off a 104-102 home win over the Boston Celtics on Thursday.
Isaiah Hartenstein has been upgraded to questionable after missing the last three games due to a left calf contusion.
Expert Prediction
Justin Martinez predicts OKC will win 115-108.
OKC has lost its last two meetings with Minnesota, but the reigning champs are entering the game on a seven-game winning streak.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has consistently delivered. Chet Holmgren has provided elite rim protection. Bench players such as Isaiah Joe, Jared McCain, and Jaylin Williams have shined. The Thunder recently saw the return of a key contributor in Ajay Mitchell.
According to Martinez, OKC is playing great basketball and he is picking them to beat a Minnesota team that could be without Anthony Edwards at home.
