Anthony Edwards, who suffered a knee injury in Game 4 against the Denver Nuggets, was upgraded to questionable for tonight's game earlier today against the San Antonio Spurs after being week-to-week just two days ago.

Things took an even better turn for the Minnesota faithful with the latest reports stating the superstar guard is set to suit up in Game 1.

Things just got interesting, so be sure to check out our Timberwolves vs. Spurs predictions for May 4.

Will Anthony Edwards play tonight?

This afternoon, Shams reported that Anthony Edwards was upgraded to questionable. Good news, Timberwolves fans: the newest update is even better and has caused a major shake-up to the odds.

In a follow-up tweet, Shams reported Ant went through several treatments over the last several days to cut down on his return time, including time spent in a hyperbaric chamber.

As long as things go well in warmups, Ant will be ready to go tonight.

Antony Edwards player props tonight

Sportsbooks have already posted player props for Antony Edwards for Game 1, marking his first game in nine days.

Market bet365
Over 24.5 points -110
Over 3.5 assists -105
Over 4.5 rebounds -105
Over 3.5 threes +120
Over 0.5 steals -235

Books are expecting Ant to hit the ground running, setting his points prop at 24.5 points. It should be noted that if Edwards goes through warmups and is unable to go, all pre-game bets will be voided.

For tonight, I will bet on him to exceed his assist line of 3.5. Nine days off can seriously affect a player's shooting rhythm, and I think Ant will opt to pass more tonight.

He averaged 3.7 assists in the regular season, and players like Jaden McDaniels have taken on a larger offensive role. Ant will get his, but he'll be sure to spread the love.

Pick: Anthony Edwards Over 3.5 assists (-105 at bet365)
