Karl-Anthony Towns, C, Minnesota Timberwolves

Price: $11,500

On the other side of that game, Timberwolves starters should get plenty of burn as well, as they've still got an outside shot at making the playoffs, making every game meaningful for the time being.

Even if we include his first game back from a brief injury absence, which saw him limited to under 31 minutes, Karl-Anthony Towns has averaged a strong 35.1 minutes per game in his last six contests that were decided by single-digits. If we remove the return from injury, that average jumps to 36.0. Those six contests also saw him average a huge 60.9 FanDuel points per game.

He's also topped 64 FanDuel points three times in his last four games, so there's no need to be worried about any lingering effects from that injury absence.

Steven Adams and the Thunder may seem like a rough matchup for fantasy, but OKC sits right in the middle of the pack (15th) in fantasy efficiency allowed to the five spot, so Towns' recent production and the big workload he's likely to see put him firmly in play here.
