NBA DFS: Top Fantasy Picks for Friday, March 15

C: Karl-Anthony Towns (Minnesota Timberwolves):

Minnesota Timberwolves center has been playing really well of late

The Minnesota Timberwolves have been struggling this season, sitting in the 10th spot with a 32-36 record. They lost their last 6 games out of 10 matches and will be looking to keep going as they are 6.5 games behind the 8th placed Los Angeles Clippers. Karl-Anthony Towns has made the most of his situation since Jimmy Butler and Tom Thibodeau and has become one of the top centers in the league again.

He is averaging a solid 24.6 points per game, along with 12.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists a game. He has pushed his 3 point shooting numbers upwards too, shooting 5 shots beyond the arc and making them at an impressive 45% accuracy. He returned after a knee injury kept him out against the Knicks and was dominant against the Denver Nuggets, scoring 34 points in 32 minutes, along with 10 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 blocks. He shot 56% from the floor and the Timberwolves will need him at his best against Rudy Gobert and the Utah Jazz.

Alternate pick: Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets)
