Karl-Anthony Towns puts up a double double versus New Orleans

by Geordi Gustafson | Timberwolves Correspondent | Wed, Nov 14th 11:56pm EST

Karl-Anthony Towns finished with 25 points on 9-of-17 shooting (2-of-4 from deep), and grabbed 16 rebounds, three assists and two blocks while logging 35 minutes in Minnesota's 107-100 win over New Orleans.

Fantasy Impact:

In two games since Minnesota traded Jimmy Butler, Towns is averaging 25.0 points and 18.5 rebounds per game, while shooting 75 percent from deep. Although two games is a small sample size, it seems pretty clear that the Butler fiasco was negatively affecting him. Now that Butler is gone, expect Towns to return to being a top five player in most fantasy league formats, as the Wolves should continue to run their offense though him.
