Anthony Edwards’ knee pain was also affecting his shot as much as his driving ability.
In the 10 games before he rested for a week, Edwards was shooting 27% from three-point range.
In the last 10 games entering tonight, he’s at 45%. – 6:00 PM

Per @stathead. There are only two players in @NBA this season shooting 50% FG 37% 3pt and 84% FT. Kevin Durant is one. The other….Wait for it….is @Jalen Brunson. If you reduce the FT% to 80, you can add Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikael Bridges. That’s the list – 3:54 PM

The T’Wolves play the Wizards tonight.
The Nuggets shouldn’t expect any help there, but now would be a great time for KCP and Kuzma to combine for 70 points. – 2:07 PM

Jaden McDaniels (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable for tonight’s game.
Patrick Beverley (ankle) was also added to the injury report and is listed as questionable. (This pattern of being added to the injury report day of a game for Beverley typically signals a rest day.) – 1:13 PM
