The Raptors are the East’s No. 9 seed. Toronto is one game behind the No. 8 seed Atlanta Hawks and two games in front of the No. 11 seed Indiana Pacers.

Before being limited to eight minutes in Chicago, Edwards was performing like one of the conference’s best players. In seven games during March, the 21-year-old is averaging 25.4 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game. Edwards is shooting 48.9% from the field and 43.6% from 3-point range in March, both of which are season-highs for any month.

On Wednesday, Edwards had 28 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists in a loss against the Boston Celtics. The Timberwolves star scored exactly 32 points in each of his previous three games
