Karl-Anthony Towns, C, Minnesota Timberwolves

Price: $9,900

After seeing decreased minutes for a few games in a row last week, three of Karl-Anthony Towns' four highest minute totals of the season have come in his last three games. He has had no trouble turning that into production, with 22.3 points, 13.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 2.7 combined blocks and steals (good for 48.6 FanDuel points) in 40.1 minutes per game.

His usage rate is down slightly this year (still a strong 24.1%), but he's still sporting a career-high 19.7% rebound rate and 4.4% block rate, and his 1.25 FanDuel points per minute are right in line with what he posted last season.

He brings his big workload into a great matchup tonight against the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavs are off to a brutal start to the season, ranking bottom-five in defensive rating. They have been especially weak in the frontcourt, ranking 29th in rebound rate and allowing top-10 fantasy production to both power forwards and centers.
