Wolves ball, and a microcosm of a frustrating loss. Golden State’s superstar detonated for 39 points, but dozens of tiny mistakes – though mostly by teammates – doomed the Warriors to a 127-120 loss and a .500 record.

If Edwards is once again unable to suit up, forward Julius Randle and guard Donte DiVincenzo would be tasked with taking on expanded roles to help shoulder the scoring load. However, Edwards’ absence fundamentally alters Minnesota’s offensive game plan.

Team USA Olympic teammates Anthony Edwards and Stephen Curry will battle for the 16th time on Friday. The Warriors lead the matchup 9-6, and both players have played well individually. Edwards is averaging 25.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.3 steals, while Curry is averaging 27.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.1 steals.

Minnesota blowing a 12-point fourth quarter lead looked familiar. Donte DiVincenzo didn’t care about it though.

Edwards (foot) will not play Friday against the Warriors. Edwards was unable to shake his questionable tag and will miss his first game since Nov. 3. With Edwards out of the lineup, Donte DiVincenzo and Julius Randle will likely soak up more usage,

Golden State will be without two starters, while the Timberwolves won't have Anthony Edwards or Mike Conley.
