Towns had 29 points (11-21 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Saturday's 109-97 win over the Cavaliers.
Towns had the hot hand early, racking up 14 points on six shots in his first 10 minutes of play, and he finished with a season-high 29 points. This was also Towns' league-leading ninth double-double of the year, and as a bonus for managers in nine-category fantasy leagues, he finished the game without a single turnover.
6 d ago
Towns finished with 11 points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 16 rebounds and five assists across 35 minutes in Monday's 103-90 win over the Nets.
Towns struggled offensively, failing to score in the first half before finishing with 11 points. However, his 16 rebounds and five assists helped compensate for the disappointing scoring output. Towns continues to provide substantial fantasy value through rebounding and playmaking, and his scoring has been solid for the most part. While this 11-point performance was a season-low mark, he had scored at least 19 points in each of his previous six showings.
Oct 31
Towns ended with 22 points (8-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one block over 35 minutes in Friday's 98-93 loss to Philadelphia.
Towns suffered a sprained wrist in Wednesday's victory over Chicago and carried an injury designation heading into this contest. However, he was cleared to suit up for the Knicks' first game of NBA Cup group play. The 2015 No. 1 overall pick played well, finishing the night with his sixth double-double in as many games while remaining efficient shooting the ball. In six regular-season appearances in the 2026-27 campaign thus far, Towns has averaged 21.8 points, 13.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists across 31.7 minutes per outing. He has also shot 41.4 percent from downtown.
Oct 30
Towns (wrist) is available for Friday's meeting with the 76ers, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
Towns sustained a left wrist sprain in Wednesday's win over the Bulls. He was able to play through the injury and will now suit up for Friday's contest after drawing a probable tag. The star big man is averaging 21.8 points, 13.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 31.0 minutes per game across five regular-season outings.
Oct 30
Towns (wrist) is listed as probable for Friday's game against Philadelphia.
Towns is dealing with a left wrist sprain he sustained in Wednesday's win over the Bulls, though he's still expected to suit up for Friday's contest. Over five regular-season outings, he's averaging 21.8 points, 13.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 31.0 minutes per tilt.
