Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Nears double-double in loss
Rotowire
Towns provided 24 points (6-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 10-11 FT), eight rebounds and three assists over 37 minutes during Saturday's 133-121 loss to the Magic.
Towns didn't have his most efficient outing, but he still finished as New York's second-leading scorer. The star big man has scored 20-plus points in three of his last four appearances, though he has shot just 42.7 percent from the field during that span. Although his double-double streak ended at 10 games, he grabbed a game-high mark in rebounds Saturday.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Keeps dominating on glass
Rotowire
Towns ended with 18 points (6-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-9 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 113-111 victory over the Mavericks.
The veteran big man has pulled down double-digit rebounds in every game so far in 2025-26, recording double-doubles in 13 of his 14 starts.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Posts another double-double
Rotowire
Towns chipped in 22 points (7-19 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists and one block across 33 minutes during Monday's 115-113 loss to the Heat.
Towns is the player tasked with carrying the offense as long as Jalen Brunson (ankle) remains out, and it's fair to say the veteran big man has been up to the task. He's been nearly automatic when it comes to posting double-doubles, as he's achieved that mark in nine straight contests and in all but one of his appearances so far. He's also scored over 20 points in four of his last five outings, and fantasy managers should expect Towns to continue enjoying a marked uptick in his usage rate, which is likely to translate to loaded stat lines every time he steps on the hardwood. Ultimately, Towns' role as the Knicks' go-to offensive weapon isn't going to change anytime soon.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Explodes in first half vs. Miami
Rotowire
Towns tallied 39 points (13-26 FG, 6-14 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 38 minutes during the Knicks' 140-132 win over the Heat on Friday.
Friday was Towns' first game this season as the Knicks' top scoring option due to the absence of Jalen Brunson (ankle). Towns helped the Knicks get out to a 10-point lead by halftime, as the sharpshooting center tallied 31 points in the first half while connecting on six threes. He was kept in check in the second half, but Landry Shamet took over the scoring load with 30 of his career-high 36 points in the half to propel New York to its eighth victory of the 2025-26 campaign. Brunson may not travel with the Knicks during their upcoming five-game road trip, and with OG Anunoby leaving in the first quarter of Friday's game due to a hamstring injury, New York will need to lean more heavily on Towns, Shamet, Jordan Clarkson and others to contribute on both ends of the floor. Towns has registered a double-double in each of the first 12 games of the regular season and is averaging 21.8 points, 12.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.9 blocks over 33.1 minutes per game this season.

Towns logged 15 points (6-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 35 minutes during the Knicks' 124-107 loss to the Magic on Wednesday.

Towns has recorded a double-double in each of the first 11 games of the regular season and is averaging 20.2 points, 12.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.0 steals over 32.6 minutes per game to open the year. However, he is shooting a career-low 42.9 percent from the field, including 32.7 percent from three on 5.0 3PA/G.

Towns amassed 21 points (7-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, three steals and two blocks across 32 minutes in Tuesday's 133-120 win over the Grizzlies.
While Towns didn't produce his most efficient night from the field, he still finished as New York's third-leading scorer. The star big man also grabbed a game-high 13 rebounds en route to his sixth consecutive double-double. He delivered a well-rounded performance and stuffed the stat sheet on both ends of the floor, racking up multiple steals and multiple blocks for the first time through 10 regular-season games.
Towns posted 28 points (10-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and two steals across 28 minutes in Sunday's 134-98 win over the Nets.

Towns recorded 15 points (5-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and four turnovers in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 137-114 win over the Wolves.
Towns has double-doubled in all but one game this season, and he's currently pulling down a career-high 12.8 rebounds per contest. He's also getting to the line a career-high 6.9 times a night, and he's converting a career-best 90.9 percent of those attempts, which are a few reasons why he's been a top-30 fantasy option on the season.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Double-doubles in easy win
Rotowire
Towns racked up 33 points (12-24 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists and two steals across 30 minutes during Monday's 119-102 blowout win over the Wizards.
Towns went to work against Alex Sarr and regularly abused the second-year center in the post. He did take himself out of the game at one point with an apparent hand injury, but after getting checked out by New York's medical staff, he quickly checked back in. Towns will likely again pop up on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, but he's yet to miss a game this season while also managing a quadriceps issue.

Towns has been a regular on the injury report to start the season, though he will shed his probable tag due to a right quadriceps strain and suit up Friday.

Towns contributed eight points (2-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 121-111 loss to the Bucks.
Towns was clearly bothered by his ongoing quad issue, continuing what has been a somewhat disappointing start to the season. While his numbers have been adequate, he certainly looks to be functioning at less than 100 percent. He has been a regular fixture on the injury report, and while there is no indication he will miss time, managers might want to keep an eye on things, just in case his injury leads to missed games at some point.

Towns has been a mainstay on the injury report due to a right quadriceps strain, though he has yet to miss a game.
