Minnesota Timberwolves vs LA Clippers: Key players

Anthony Edwards

Last season, Anthony Edwards cemented himself as one of the best players in the league after leading Minnesota to the Western Conference finals. While his numbers have improved this season, those haven’t translated into wins for the team.

The Timberwolves were regarded as one of the best teams at the start of the season after trading for Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo. They face the surprisingly good LA Clippers on Wednesday and Edwards need to be at his best to get a win.

James Harden

James Harden may no longer be the player he used to be during his MVP seasons. He has, however, modified his game enough to help his team win, even with the big gap left by Kawhi Leonard’s absence and Paul George leaving in free agency. If Harden continues his stellar play, there’s no reason why the Clippers cannot beat Minnesota on Wednesday.
