Karl-Anthony Towns Makes Return To Action Wednesday
4 years agoMinnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns has been cleared to suit up for Wednesday's contest versus the Clippers. Towns has been out since Jan. 13 following a positive COVID-19 test, which has come during a season that was already thrown off track by a wrist injury. Having appeared in just four games this year, it's not likely that Towns sees a full minutes allotment right out of the gate, casting a shadow on his DFS intrigue Wednesday. Naz Reid had been starting in place of Towns, but he figures to shift back to the second unit, zapping him of most of his season-long fantasy appeal.

Karl-Anthony Towns Now Questionable Versus Philadelphia
2 hours agoNew York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Philadelphia 76ers. KAT has only missed seven games this year. Yet, he has a sore left knee, so the team may keep him off the floor versus the 23-52 Sixers. If that's the case, Precious Achiuwa and Mitchell Robinson may see more action. However, Achiuwa would likely be the safer fantasy option, considering Robinson hasn't logged more than 24 minutes in a game since being cleared to play just over a month ago. Towns' absence will likely open the door for added production from Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart, and OG Anunoby.
