Edwards is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Bucks, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards got the start in the loss to the Kings on Monday, notching six points, four rebounds and four assists across 22 minutes. He's been alternating between the starting lineup and the bench in recent weeks. Still, regardless of his role, his fantasy upside is mostly limited to deep formats, with the former Pepperdine standout being a streaming option in most cases.

Edwards is starting Monday's game against the Kings, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards will make his return to the starting lineup after coming off the bench in his last appearance Thursday and failing to check in during Saturday's matchup. He should be more involved Monday considering P.J. Washington has been ruled out with an ankle injury.

Edwards isn't starting Thursday's game against the Hornets, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards has started his team's last six games, but he'll revert to a bench role Thursday. This opens the door for Moses Brown to draw a start at center, though Edwards should still factor into the mix in the frontcourt.

Edwards closed Sunday's 126-102 loss to Golden State with six points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 14 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards only played 14 minutes in Sunday's blowout loss, but he managed to grab eight boards which tied with Moses Brown for most on the Mavericks. Edwards has started at center in five straight games due to the absence of Anthony Davis (abdomen), and the former should remain in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Lakers.

Edwards amassed 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt), nine rebounds and three assists in 40 minutes during Thursday's 118-113 win over Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Making his third straight start for the shorthanded Mavs, Edwards set season highs in points and rebounds while handling a massive workload. The 24-year-old forward is averaging 8.3 points, 5.3 boards, 3.3 assists, 1.7 blocks and 1.3 steals in 33.0 minutes over those three contests, and with both Anthony Davis (thigh) and Daniel Gafford (knee) both facing extended absences, there could still be a role for Edwards on the other side of the All-Star break.

Edwards recorded four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists, three blocks and two steals over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 111-107 victory over Golden State.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old is shouldering a significant workload in the Mavericks' injury-ravaged frontcourt, and while he doesn't offer much offense, Edwards is making an impact with his defense. He's contributed multiple steals and blocks in back-to-back starts while averaging 29.5 minutes a contest, and Wednesday's six assists were also a career high. P.J. Washington (ankle) won't be back until after the All-Star break while Anthony Davis (thigh) figures to be sidelined into March, so Edwards could continue to have some short-term value as a bargain DFS option.

Edwards had six points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, two blocks and two steals across 26 minutes during Monday's 129-128 overtime loss to Sacramento.
EDGE Analysis
With Anthony Davis (adductor) and P.J. Washington (ankle) sidelined, Edwards drew the start at forward Monday. He had a strong showing on the defensive end, but Edwards is typically a low-usage player who doesn't make a ton of noise in the box score. Over his last five games, he's averaging 3.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.8 blocks and 0.6 steals in 17.0 minutes.

Edwards has been elevated to the starting lineup for Monday's game against Sacramento, Deuce Mason of NBC Sports California reports.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards will rejoin the starting lineup due to the absences of Anthony Davis (adductor) and P.J. Washington (ankle). Monday night will be Edwards' third start out of his last four games and fourth overall, but expect Naji Marshall and potentially Olivier-Maxence Prosper to occupy the majority of the team's minutes at power forward.
