Karl-Anthony Towns posted 29 points, 13 rebounds, three assists and two steals without a turnover on 11-of-21 shooting and 5-of-5 from the line in 34 minutes as a starter on Saturday, November 7, helping the Knicks to a 109-97 win over the Cavaliers.

The line is strong, but Towns was already producing 40.2 fantasy points a game over his previous 8 games. He ranks 22nd overall this season at 39.9 projected fantasy points in default points scoring and adds third-round value in nine-category formats with elite rebounding, very good efficiency at 67.4% true shooting and a 25.1% usage rate. This was a normal night for his level.

Karl-Anthony Towns

Towns has been a model of consistency in his first season with New York, starting all nine games and averaging 20.9 points, 13.6 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 31.5 minutes. Over his previous 8 games he put up 19.9 points, 13.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 0.5 steals, 0.5 blocks and 1.9 threes in 31.2 minutes a game on 57.3% shooting and 76.5% from the line.

The zero-turnover outing was the cleanest part of Saturday's performance. Towns has one game left this week, on Saturday, then the Knicks do not play again until the following week. He remains a hold in all formats as a playmaking big whose elite rebounding and efficient volume scoring anchor his value in both nine-category leagues and points formats.

What to do

• Keep Towns active in all formats as a top-25 overall producer.

• Use him in his final game this week on Saturday.

• Expect the same efficient volume and strong rebounding he has delivered all season.
