Towns was unable to play in Sunday’s contest against the Orlando Magic due to left calf tightness.

If he’s unable to suit up, Mitchell Robinson is expected to see a boost in minutes.

Towns continues a solid stretch on both ends of the floor, dishing out two or more assists, grabbing seven or more rebounds, and scoring nine or more points in each of his last five games. The center remains an impactful multiple-category option for fantasy managers as part of a versatile New York lineup, averaging 22.7 points and 12.0 rebounds per game while posting a usage rate of 26.2% so far this season.

Facing an overmatched Charlotte frontcourt on the second leg of a back-to-back, Karl-Anthony Towns feasted to the tune of 35 points (13-of-23 FG, 6-of-7 FT) and a season-high-tying 18 rebounds during Wednesday's victory. The dominant outing followed a 29-point performance against the Celtics the night prior, and he rounded out his line with five assists, two steals, and three three-pointers.

Fantasy Impact

This marked the fourth time this season the big man has eclipsed the 30-point plateau. Towns has been playing elite basketball recently, delivering top-tier value over the last fortnight and raising his season-long production to match the high expectations set for him.
