Wolves SG Anthony Edwards — 24.5 Points (Goblin)
Anthony Edwards has been the clear focal point of Minnesota’s offense, evidenced by his elevated usage rates of 34.6% and 33.4% over his last two playoff games.
This season against Oklahoma City, he’s averaged 22.3 points per game. In the 2025 playoffs, Edwards has scored more than 24.5 points in five of nine games, owning a playoff scoring average of 26.5 points. THis two worst performances were in games with 20 and 15 points — the 15-point performance was an outlier, being his season-low 3-point shooting night, when he went just 1-for-11 from beyond the arc.
Edwards’ dominance was on full display in the closing three games of the series against the Golden State Warriors. He exploded for 36, 30, and 22 points, consistently converting high-volume 3-point attempts, nearly double digits and proving himself capable of carrying the Timberwolves offensively in clutch situations.
