Karl-Anthony Towns Has Another Monster Game
Karl-Anthony Towns had another exceptional game on Thursday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. Towns had 34 points on 11-for-19 shooting, including going a ridiculous 11-for-12 from the charity stripe. He also chipped in with 17 rebounds, three blocks, two steals, two assists and one three-pointer. This marks the seventh straight double-double for Towns, who leads the NBA in that category with 54 on the season. With Jimmy Butler (knee) out for the foreseeable future, Towns will be an invaluable asset to fantasy owners, as he will get all the touches and playing time he can handle. However, he may have a tough matchup next game against defensive stalwart Rudy Gobert and the Utah Jazz. Owners should expect Towns to be one of the top-six players in fantasy down the stretch.

Karl-Anthony Towns Out Against Brooklyn
Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) won't play on Sunday against Brooklyn. He was listed as questionable. However, not many expected to see KAT on the floor. Jalen Brunson (ankle), Josh Hart (knee), and OG Anunoby (thumb) also won't suit up, meaning DFS managers could see increased production from Precious Achiuwa, Landry Shamet, Cameron Payne, and Miles McBride.

However, as some expected, Towns will get the night off. Mitchell Robinson, who had 14 points and 14 rebounds while filling in for Towns in the April 1 win over the 76ers, will move into the starting lineup.

Karl-Anthony Towns A Game-Time Decision On Friday
Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Head coach Tom Thibodeau clarified that Towns is a game-time decision, as well as OG Anunoby (thumb), Jalen Brunson (ankle), and Josh Hart (knee). With four of the starting five considered game-time decisions, the Knicks' lineup could look drastically different by the time they tip off. If Towns doesn't suit up, Precious Achiuwa would be the best value play for DFS lineups. In 40 minutes during their last game, Achiuwa posted 18 points, 10 rebounds, three assists, two steals, and three blocks.
