Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards is scheduled for arthroscopic knee surgery and could miss two months. Through four games, he averaged 33.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists. Fantasy managers should stash him immediately.
LaMelo Ball will absorb the biggest offensive increase, with higher usage and assist potential. Jaden McDaniels should see more shots, while Jonathan Kuminga (rostered in 54.6% of ESPN leagues) could take on additional scoring. Kuminga averages 11.5 PPG, 5.8 RPG and 2.0 SPG.
Ayo Dosunmu (63.4% rostered) is the top waiver wire priority, having averaged 18.7 points and 7.3 rebounds in nine starts last season. Terrence Shannon Jr. (8.7%) is a priority in 12-team leagues, averaging 13.0 PPG and 2.5 triples. Bones Hyland (1.0%) is worth considering in 14+ team leagues.
