Anderson finished with 12 points (6-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 108-101 win over the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson continues to distinguish himself as a valuable contributor during Karl-Anthony Towns' (calf) extended absence. While Anderson suffers from a low shot volume occasionally, his numbers off the glass have been consistent. He caps off the month of February with an average of 6.2 rebounds per game over nine contests.

Anderson recorded 18 points (7-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Thursday's 114-106 loss to the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson stepped his game up and was one of the top contributors for the Timberwolves in this loss, and he ended just two assists shy from a double-double while also posting his third-best mark of the season in that category. A back problem of late has limited Anderson, but he's managed to play in the Timberwolves' last three games while scoring in double digits each time. The All-Star break could be what he needs to get healthy for the stretch run of the regular season.

Anderson (back) is questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson remains bothered by back spasms, though he appeared in the Wolves' prior two games and totaled 24 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists, three steals and one block in 41 minutes. If the veteran sits out the final game before the All-Star break, bigger roles could be in store for Taurean Prince, Jaylen Nowell and Jaden McDaniels.

Anderson closed with 12 points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 24 minutes during Monday's 124-121 win over the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson notably came off the bench for the first time since Dec. 3, but he was still able to make an impact and led bench scorers with 12 points. He also made his mark on the defensive end by notching a pair of steals, marking his third straight contest with at least one. The Timberwolves will likely continue to monitor Anderson closely after he recently missed two games with a back issue, though it was reassuring to see him log 20-plus minutes for the first time in nearly two weeks.

Anderson (back) is available but won't start Monday versus Dallas, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson will continue to push through the pain with his back issue, but he's a risky fantasy target for this one, as he hasn't exceeded the 20-minute mark in his past two games. Taurean Prince draws the start at power forward with the Timberwolves expected to monitor Anderson's minutes closely.

Anderson (back) is questionable for Monday's game at Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson missed a pair of games last week due to back spasms but was able to return for Friday's loss to the Grizzlies. He's apparently still dealing with some after-effects, so the Wolves will keep an eye on his status as they head into a two-game week ahead of the All-Star break. Anderson finished Friday's game with 12 points, six rebounds, two assists and a steal in 17 minutes.

Anderson (back spasms) is available against the Grizzlies on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson is returning from a two-game absence and the Timberwolves will likely keep a close eye on him considering this injury has already flared up several times. The forward had some really strong showings in January and will be looking to get back on track.

Anderson (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has missed the last two games due to back spasms, and his status for Friday's matchup is still up in the air. If he's sidelined once again, Naz Reid and Taurean Prince should continue to see increased run.

Anderson (back) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson will miss a second consecutive game with back spasms, Joining Rudy Gobert (groin) and D'Angelo Russell (trade) as out. Naz Reid and Taurean Prince are the likely replacements in the frontcourt. Anderson's next chance to play will come Friday in Memphis.
