NBA DFS Pick’em
Karl-Anthony Towns more than 21.5 points, PrizePicks
Similar to his teammate Rudy Gobert, Karl-Anthony Towns has an incredibly favorable matchup today against the San Antonio Spurs. This season, Towns is averaging 7.2 shot attempts per game in the restricted area or the paint – an area of the floor that the Spurs are not well-equipped to defend on a nightly basis. Adding insult to injury in this matchup, San Antonio will be short-handed, with as many as eight players potentially being ruled out by the time tip-off rolls around. Towns should have every opportunity to hit the over here.
