Anderson (back spasms) will not play against the Nuggets on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
He was carrying a questionable tag, but this is likely the right call for Minnesota considering the forward has left each of his last two games early with discomfort. Taurean Prince has been getting the bulk of Anderson's minutes with Nathan Knight picking up the scraps.

Anderson (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game versus the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson attempted to play through the back issue Sunday, but he tapped out after just 13 minutes, so there's certainly a chance he'll need to skip Monday's game with it being the first of a back-to-back. If he's not able to give it a go, there will be more minutes available for guys like Taurean Prince, Matt Ryan and Naz Reid.

Anderson has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Nuggets due to back spasms.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson dealt with back spasms ahead of Sunday's matchup but was able to start against Denver. He logged four points (1-1 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, an assist and a steal in 13 minutes to begin the game but was ruled out at halftime. Jaden McDaniels and Taurean Prince are candidates to see increased run down the stretch.

Anderson (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson exited Friday's loss to Orlando with back spasms and was considered questionable Sunday, but he'll be able to suit up against the Nuggets. He's been limited to single-digit scoring totals in six of his last eight appearances.

Anderson (back) is questionable to play Sunday against the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson had been dealing with back spasms earlier this week, the same injury that forced him to leave Friday's contest against the Magic, and by the nature of the injury, it seems he'll have a tough time being ready to go for Sunday's matchup. The Timberwolves could turn to Taurean Prince and Matt Ryan to cover extra minutes if Anderson can't play Sunday.

Anderson (back) is out for the remainder of Friday's game versus the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has been downgraded from questionable to out for the remainder of Friday's game due to back spasms. Taurean Prince and Naz Reid are candidates to see extended minutes in his absence. Anderson's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with the Nuggets.

Anderson is questionable to return to Friday's game against the Magic due to back spasms, according to Timberwolves PR.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson logged just five minutes prior to leaving the game, with just a block to show for it. If he is unable to return Friday, the Timberwolves will likely lean on Naz Reid, who has been playing really well in the first half.

Anderson closed with nine points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-5 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one block in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 119-114 overtime win over Golden State.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson scored nine points for a third straight game, and he also set a new season high by collecting 12 rebounds. The UCLA product continues to show his versatility across the board, as he's tallied a block in four of his last five contests while putting together serviceable production in points, rebounds and assists.

Anderson submitted nine points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one block in 36 minutes in Monday's 118-111 overtime loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Though Anderson's production didn't stand out in any one area Monday, his ability to contribute across the board continues to make him an appealing back-end roster piece in 12-team category leagues while he continues to see sizable minutes. The veteran forward appeared in 15 of 16 contests for the Timberwolves in January, shooting 52.6 percent from the field and 75 percent from the charity stripe on the month while averaging 10.4 points, 5.6 assists, 5.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals, 1.1 blocks and 1.0 three-pointers in 30.4 minutes per game. The 30-minute role should be obtainable for Anderson so long as he stays healthy and Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) remains sidelined for the foreseeable future.

Anderson had 10 points (3-6 FG, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and two steals across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 111-102 victory over the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson finished in double figures for the first time in a week, and he also made his mark on the defensive end by notching a pair of blocks and steals. His scoring has been inconsistent over the last three games, but he's secured at least one block and one steal in six of his last seven matchups.
