Karl-Anthony Towns Posts Third Straight Double-Double
Karl-Anthony Towns tried his best to claw his Timberwolves team to an improbable comeback on Friday night but fell just short. In Minnesota's 124-117 loss to the Clippers, Towns had 39 points, 12 rebounds, three assists, and two steals in 35 minutes. He shot over 50% from the field, made five three-pointers and hit 10 of his 13 free throws on the night. It was his third double-double performance in a row and is now up to 18 of them on the season. The Timberwolves don't play again until Wednesday where they start a four-game road trip against the Pelicans, Nuggets, Trail Blazers, and Suns. Towns should be a staple in all fantasy lineups for Week 9 and every week after that.

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.
