Towns finishes with 30 points vs. Pacers
Karl-Anthony Towns finished Sunday’s loss to the Pacers with 30 points (11-of-20 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), nine rebounds, one block, and two 3-pointers in 38 minutes. The Pacers torched Towns and the Knicks, but that didn’t keep him from producing another 30-point game. He’s scored 30 or more in three straight games and, offensively at least, looks more comfortable by the game. Many fantasy managers expected KAT to be a 2nd-round player after the trade, but he’s been even better, providing top-10 per-game value. He’ll look to continue the 30-point streak when the Knicks visit Joel Embiid and the 76ers on Tuesday, the first of four games during Week 4 for New York.
Embiid not listed on injury report
Joel Embiid is not listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Knicks. Embiid’s three-game suspension is over, and now he’s healthy enough to make his season debut. This will be a situation worth monitoring, since he has been managing a left knee injury. His return should push Andre Drummond back to the bench, but we’ll see how many minutes Embiid plays before dropping his fill-in.
Knicks vs. 76ers NBA Prediction:
Take Philadelphia. The 76ers have had a hell of a time at the window this season, posting a 2-7 ATS record. That said, it’s not as if the Knicks are playing great entering play tonight. They’re coming off a 132-121 loss to the Pacers in Indiana as a 3.5-point favorite. They’ve been favored in their last four games and have covered just once – a 116-94 victory over the Bucks. The Sixers have been miserable. That said, with both teams struggling, I’m going to take the points.
