Red-Hot Anthony Edwards Leads Timberwolves Into Clash With Bucks

Minnesota Hosts Short-Handed Milwaukee Before the All-Star Break

The Milwaukee Bucks will wrap up their pre-All-Star break schedule with a tough road test against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night in Minneapolis.

Milwaukee has struggled with consistency in recent games, alternating wins and losses in its last five contests. The Bucks are coming off a 125-111 home defeat to the Golden State Warriors on Monday and are looking to enter the break on a high note. However, they will have to do so without their superstar, Giannis Antetokounmpo, who remains sidelined with a left calf strain and will also miss the All-Star Game.

Bucks head coach Doc Rivers admitted that fatigue may have played a role in the team’s sluggish performance against Golden State. Now, they must quickly regroup against a Timberwolves squad that has been dominant at home.

Anthony Edwards’ Scorching Form

Minnesota has two games remaining before the All-Star break, with matchups against the Bucks and the Oklahoma City Thunder on deck. The Timberwolves had won eight of their previous ten games before a 128-107 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night.

Despite that defeat, Anthony Edwards has been virtually unstoppable, torching opponents for 40+ points in three straight games. The All-Star guard dropped 44 points—including eight three-pointers—against Cleveland and will look to continue his blistering scoring pace against Milwaukee.

Edwards leads Minnesota with 27.5 points per game, while Julius Randle (18.9 PPG) remains out due to a groin injury. The Timberwolves will rely on Naz Reid (14.1 PPG) and Jaden McDaniels (11.3 PPG) to step up as secondary scorers.

Bucks Adjusting Without Giannis

With Antetokounmpo (31.8 PPG, 12.2 RPG) sidelined, the Bucks will lean on Damian Lillard (25.8 PPG, 4.7 RPG) to carry the offensive load. Recent trade acquisition Kyle Kuzma has provided an immediate impact, averaging 15.3 points in his first three games with Milwaukee. Bobby Portis (13.8 PPG) has also been a key contributor.

Rivers has also been experimenting with his rotation, trying to find minutes for his reserves. Kevin Porter Jr., acquired from the Los Angeles Clippers, made his team debut on Monday and is expected to see more playing time against Minnesota.
