Karl-Anthony Towns DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Towns was added to the injury report late and has been downgraded from questionable to out as the Knicks get ready to kick off a back-to-back set. The team has a big matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers coming up on Wednesday night, and Towns may be ready to jump back into action for that one. On Tuesday, Mitchell Robinson will start at center instead of Towns, while Precious Achiuwa could also receive additional work in the frontcourt.

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Philadelphia 76ers. KAT has only missed seven games this year. Yet, he has a sore left knee, so the team may keep him off the floor versus the 23-52 Sixers. If that's the case, Precious Achiuwa and Mitchell Robinson may see more action. However, Achiuwa would likely be the safer fantasy option, considering Robinson hasn't logged more than 24 minutes in a game since being cleared to play just over a month ago. Towns' absence will likely open the door for added production from Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart, and OG Anunoby.

New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (personal) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's clash against the Los Angeles Lakers. He is set to return to action after missing one game for personal reasons. Now that Towns is available again, Mitchell Robinson (ankle) will likely head back to the second unit. Precious Achiuwa (hamstring) may fall out of the rotation entirely if he is cleared for action. Both he and Robinson are carrying questionable tags ahead of Thursday's game.
