Karl-Anthony Towns' big double-double not enough Tuesday in Wolves' loss
Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns posted 19 points on 6-for-16 shooting Tuesday, to go with 16 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 blocks, and 4 steals in a 118-112 overtime loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.
What It Means:
Towns was hustling and playing hard on both ends against Joel Embiid, who also posted a big game, but Towns blocked Embiid's shot a couple of times too. Towns' 7 blocks and steals are a combined season-high for the big man, and after a day off Wednesday to rest, he and Minnesota are back in action Thursday against the Sacramento Kings.
Our early models for Thursday project Towns for 42.8 FanDuel points at a cost of $9,700.
