Karl-Anthony Towns put up 28 points (9-of-17 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), 18 rebounds, five assists, four blocks and four 3-pointers in 36 minutes during Tuesday's win over the Kings.

Advice: Towns fell two rebounds shy of what would have been his first 20/20 game since March 23, 2019, when he racked up 33 points and 23 rebounds in a win over the Grizzlies. When healthy KAT has been one of the best players in fantasy basketball, providing top-5 value in 8-cat and top-10 value in 9-cat formats. The words "when healthy" are key, especially when taking into consideration the amount of time that Towns has missed over the last two seasons. After missing a total of five games in his first four seasons, Towns has missed 49 games due to injury over the last two (this doesn't count the two that he recently missed for personal reasons). Minnesota faces Sacramento again Wednesday night, and while Towns looked fine after tweaking his knee in Sunday's loss to the Clippers, this could be a spot where the Timberwolves look to either limit his workload or keep him out completely.

D'Angelo Russell shot 10-of-13 from the field and 2-of-2 from the foul line in Tuesday's win over the Kings, recording a line of 28 points, three rebounds, six assists and six 3-pointers in 25 minutes. 

Advice: Russell had it rolling during the first half, scoring 26 points in just 15 minutes. He served as more of a facilitator after halftime, with the Kings devoting a little more attention to him defensively. The 26 points are the fourth-most that Russell has scored in a half during his NBA career, and he has accounted for 25 or more in four games this month. While there is still fantasy value to be had, the minutes cap (which is now up to 30) has lowered Russell's ceiling. He has played 25 minutes or more in just three of the nine games that he's appeared in this month. What makes matters even worse for those who have Russell rostered in the fact that this was the first game of a back-to-back. Don't be surprised if he sits out Wednesday's rematch.   Yesterday, 10:08 pm

Enes Kanter had nine points, nine rebounds and a block on 4-of-4 shooting in 27 minutes of Tuesday's loss to the Clippers. 

Advice: He was great early and then disappeared, while Ivica Zubac played well for the Clippers. Kanter got the start tonight with Jusuf Nurkic getting a rest, but you can expect Kanter to fall off in the next one with NurkAlert expected to play against the Nuggets on Wednesday night. Then again, Nikola Jokic is not an easy matchup so it's possible that Kanter could see some decent run if the Joker gets Nurkic into early foul trouble.  Yesterday, 9:57 pm

Norman Powell hit 10-of-20 shots and three 3-pointers for 23 points, one rebound, three assists and a steal in a team-high 39 minutes of Tuesday's loss to the Clippers. 

Advice: Powell has scored between 17 and 23 points in his last five games and has scored in double figures in all but one of his April games. He should continue to thrive for the Blazers, with or without Damian Lillard (hamstring) in uniform. Yesterday, 9:49 pm

Rajon Rondo came off the bench and played 22 minutes on Tuesday, hitting 3-of-7 shots for nine points, six rebounds and seven assists in a tough win over the Blazers. 

Advice: We don't trust Rondo and he had just two points and four assists in 15 minutes in Sunday's win over the Timberwolves. But Patrick Beverley is still out and Reggie Jackson is hit-or-miss, meaning Rondo could continue to produce for the red-hot Clippers, who have won nine of their last 10 games. But in reality, Rondo will probably do more to help the Clips in the playoffs than he will over the rest of the regular season. Jackson played 26 minutes and had nine points, five boards, six dimes and three 3-pointers, but hit just 3-of-9 shots. We still trust Jackson more than Rondo, at least for now.  Yesterday, 9:45 pm

Chimezie Metu shot 8-of-12 from the field in Tuesday's loss to the Timberwolves, scoring 16 points with four rebounds and one assist in 17 minutes. 

Advice: Metu had the best game of his NBA career from a scoring standpoint, exceeding his previous career-high by six points. While it would have been nice to get some defensive production from the third-year power forward, that really hasn't been a strong suit for him. Entering Tuesday, Metu averaged 0.2 steals and 0.5 blocks per in 9.3 minutes per game. There is room for Metu to make a greater impact on both ends of the floor, as the Kings are still without the injured Richaun Holmes (strained hamstring). However, we'll need to see a couple productive games in a row before buying into Metu as a short-term fantasy option. Yesterday, 9:44 pm

Ivica Zubac hit 5-of-9 shots for 10 points, six rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 28 minutes of Tuesday's 113-112 win over the Blazers. 

Advice: Zubac had a four-point dud on Friday against Joel Embiid but has otherwise been a very solid fantasy center in six of his last seven games. Zubac isn't really a game-changer in fantasy, but he's playing well enough to be used if you're in a pinch and your waiver wire is bare.  Yesterday, 9:43 pm

Lonzo Ball shot 6-of-11 from the field in Tuesday's loss to the Nets, tallying 15 points, four rebounds, three assists, two steals and three 3-pointers in 26 minutes.

Advice: Ball's minutes have increased slightly since he returned to the lineup, and he was better on Tuesday after struggling in his first two games back. What may help him in the short term is that the Pelicans don't have many options capable of replacing him, as Eric Bledsoe (6/1/3 with two 3-pointers) struggled in his 17 minutes and Kira Lewis Jr. (11/1/4 with three 3-pointers in 19 minutes) producing a solid line. Eventually, especially if the Pelicans fall out of the race for a play-in round spot, Lewis could take more minutes away from Ball. But we haven't reached that point just yet.  Yesterday, 8:02 pm

Jeff Green recorded a line of 15 points (5-of-14 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), nine rebounds, six assists, one block and one 3-pointer in 33 minutes during Tuesday's win over the Pelicans. 

Advice: With Kevin Durant nursing a thigh injury, Green made his return to the starting lineup Tuesday night. He didn't shoot the ball well, but Uncle Jeff did manage to contribute in other areas. Not only did Green establish a new season-high with the six assists, but he also tied his season-best in rebounds. Green hasn't been a great fantasy player this season but, with Durant sidelined, he may be worthy of a short-term look, especially in deep leagues.  Yesterday, 7:49 pm

Joe Harris recorded a line of 24 points (10-of-16 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, two assists, one steal and three 3-pointers in 32 minutes during Tuesday's win over the Pelicans.

Advice: Harris has alternated 20-point games and more pedestrian efforts in his last six, so he may have been due for a big night. Over the last two weeks he's threatening top-50 value in 9-cat formats, a trend that should continue for the foreseeable future. Brooklyn was without both James Harden (hamstring) and Kevin Durant (thigh) Tuesday night, and those absences mean that Harris will have the ability to expand his game beyond catch-and-shoot opportunities.
