Anderson won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Spurs due to left hamstring tightness, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports. He will end the game with two points (1-4 FG), four assists, two rebounds and two steals in 15 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson left Tuesday's game late in the second quarter before starting the half. However, the 30-year-old forward only made it until the 11:01 mark in the third quarter before being ruled out for the remainder of the contest. Naz Reid will likely receive increased playing time in his absence. Anderson's status for Wednesday's matchup with Memphis is uncertain.

Anderson left Tuesday's game versus the Spurs with 1:09 remaining in the second quarter due to an apparent leg injury but will start the second half, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anthony Edwards and Anderson both left right before halftime of Tuesday's contest but will take the floor to begin the second half. Anderson is making his second straight starting appearance with Karl-Anthony Towns (personal) out.

Anderson recorded 12 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, three assists and one block across 31 minutes during Saturday's 101-86 win over the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson got the starting nod due to Rudy Gobert's absence. The former hauled in a team-high-tying rebound total and ended as one of four Timberwolves with a double-digit point total. Anderson, who also handed out a trio of assists, has tallied at least 10 points and eight rebounds in two games this season and posted his eighth outing with 10 or more points Saturday.

Anderson will start against the Nets on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson will move to the starting lineup with Rudy Gobert (ankle) sidelined, and this means Karl-Anthony Towns will move to center as well. Anderson is averaging 13.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.0 assists across 34.0 minutes per game in his previous two starts this season.

Anderson finished with six points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 17 minutes during Sunday's 111-90 victory over Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson's role has been trending in the wrong direction for a couple of weeks. He's now seen fewer than 20 minutes in six consecutive games, averaging 4.5 points, 3.3 assists and 2.8 rebounds. There's been nothing to indicate that this trend will change.

Anderson logged five points (1-2 FG, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and eight assists across 21 minutes during Monday's 128-125 loss to the Hornets. He had just one turnover.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson continues to be a non-existent offensive threat, compiling just 29 three-point attempts across his 43 appearances this season. That being said, his facilitation was much-needed Monday, with Mike Conley (rest/hamstring) inactive and Karl-Anthony Towns tunnel-visioning his way to 62 points (21-35 FG). Anderson is averaging 5.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 5.4 assists in 20.8 minutes per game across his last five appearances -- which is realistic production to expect moving forward.

Anderson will return to the bench for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Rudy Gobert (hip) is back from a one-game absence, so this is an expected move. Anderson gave the Timberwolves one of his best performances of the season Wednesday versus Boston, scoring 17 points with eight rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 39 minutes.

Anderson had 17 points (7-12 FG, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 127-120 overtime loss to the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson got the starting nod with both Mike Conley (rest) and Rudy Gobert (hip) out of the starting five, setting a season high in scoring while finishing two boards short of the double-digit mark and adding a handful of assists. Anderson has tallied at least 10 points and five assists in three games this year, hauling in eight or more boards in three contests.

Anderson will start Wednesday's game against Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Mike Conley (rest) and Rudy Gobert (hip) are sidelined, so Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Anderson will slide into the starting lineup. In his only previous start this season, Anderson posted 10 points, five rebounds, five assists and one block in 29 minutes.

Anderson had 11 points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and three assists over 21 minutes during Tuesday's 113-92 victory over the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson scored his most points since Dec. 2. The veteran forward is averaging 5.8 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 21.5 minutes across his last 10 appearances. However, Anderson is a non-factor from outside the arc, shooting just 16.7 percent on 0.6 three-point attempts per contest over that span.
