Karl-Anthony Towns, C, Minnesota Timberwolves

DraftKings Price: $10,600

It's been a relatively wise decision to not use Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns in DFS lineups when he's playing on the road this season. The fourth-year superstar is averaging 51.4 DraftKings points at home but just 44.4 DraftKings points when he's away from the friendly confines of the Target Center. Tonight's opponent should help render that massive split moot.

The T'Wolves head to Talking Stick Resort Arena to take on the Phoenix Suns, a team Towns has regularly dominated. And dominated may be too soft an adjective. Towns has scored at least 54.0 DraftKings points in four of his past five meetings against the Suns and at least 59.0 in each of his two meetings against them this season.

He has 11 straight double-doubles against them and is averaging 24.3 points, 12.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.4 blocks, 1.4 steals, and 1.4 treys against them since his rookie season. Our models have the good times continuing, projecting him for 48.0 DraftKings points.
