Minnesota Timberwolves Fantasy Spin

Karl-Anthony Towns scored 31 points (11-of-15 FG, 8-of-12 FT) with 11 rebounds, four assists and one 3-pointer in 34 minutes Monday against the Warriors. After starting off slowly this season Towns has been much-improved since Jimmy Butler was traded to Philadelphia, averaging 22.5 points, 12.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.9 steals in 33.8 minutes per game (not counting Monday's numbers). And during that stretch, the forward/center shot 51.2% from the field and 41.1% from three (on 4.3 attempts per game).

Sacramento Kings Fantasy Spin

Buddy Hield scored 20 points during a 107-97 loss to the Pacers on Saturday, adding four rebounds and four 3-pointers in 32 minutes. He's been steady these days with three consecutive 20-plus scoring games, but Hield has been more of a shooter lately with only three assists combined in his last three, so he'll need to up his non-scoring stats because he's not adding defense or boards. He's still been a top-75 player this season with solid consistency.
