3 years agoNever before in Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns' professional career had he attempted four shots from the field or fewer -- until Thursday, that is. Towns' ability to be involved in the offense was thoroughly flummoxed by Memphis, who got the big man into foul trouble and forced him to make four turnovers. Across his 33 minutes, Towns finished with eight points, five rebounds, and a season-high five blocks, marking the first time he swatted five shots since Dec. 31, 2018. D'Angelo Russell keyed the offense with 21 shot attempts, but the Grizzlies' new-look approach in the frontcourt of Brandon Clarke and Xavier Tillman Sr. -- instead of Steven Adams -- has proven to deliver consternation. With just 11 combined shot attempts in his past two games, Towns is something of a shaky DFS option ahead of Game 4 on Saturday.--Jesse Borek
