Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) isn't listed on the league's official injury report ahead of the Game 1 matchup with Denver. KAT had missed a significant portion of the 2022-23 campaign due to a calf strain and was frequently mentioned on the injury report since returning. However, he appears 100%, which is good news considering Rudy Gobert (back) is questionable. Towns will enter this one coming off a 28-point, 11-rebound, three-block play-in performance against OKC on Friday, so he'll receive plenty of attention from the DFS community.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns produced a game-high 28 points on 11-for-16 shooting and swatted away three shots as the team grabbed the final playoff ticket in the Western Conference with a 120-95 win over OKC Friday. KAT was also the leading rebounder in the game with 11 boards and handed out three assists in 29 minutes. The team will be delighted by the fact that Towns could be limited to fewer than 30 minutes Friday, as this was only his 10th game back from a calf injury. He was on the injury report with the same problem prior to the game, but it looks like Towns is feeling well, and he should be very eager to produce big numbers in the playoffs, with this being only his third postseason campaign in eight years.

Towns might be the lone big man once again with Rudy Gobert (back) uncertain for this game. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Friday for another update on Towns and Gobert.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns did everything he possibly could to try and lead the team to the seventh seed on Tuesday night. The 27-year-old registered 24 points, 11 rebounds, five assists, and three blocks while shooting 8-for-12 from the floor and 2-for-4 from deep. Minnesota probably would have benefited if Towns took more shots on Tuesday as his efficiency was great. Since the team was missing three of their best defensive players and Anthony Edwards had a rough night, Towns would have needed an other-worldly performance to grab a win.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) will play on Tuesday against the Lakers. KAT had been listed as questionable because of nagging calf soreness. However, his availability was never truly in jeopardy, especially with a pivotal play-in matchup on the horizon. With Rudy Gobert (suspension) out, he'll slide over to his natural spot at the five. Towns should get plenty of chances to produce, and there's a good chance he finishes as the team's top DFS producer.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Lakers. The 27-year-old missed most of the season with a calf strain. However, he logged 36 minutes on Sunday versus the Pelicans, so DFS managers shouldn't be too concerned about his availability. With Rudy Robert (suspension) out, KAT should slide over to the five. But if Towns doesn't play for some reason, Nathan Knight may move into the starting lineup.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns helped dismantle the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday and keep the team at the eighth seed in the West.

The superstar big man is likely to remain on the injury report through the rest of the regular season. He continues to deal with lingering injuries, but usually is able to play through the issues. The loss of Naz Reid (wrist) means that Taurean Prince and Kyle Anderson would see increased minutes if Towns is unable to play.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (calf, illness) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with Portland. The Timberwolves are desperately trying to make the play-in, although the team will remain cautious about the superstar's workload moving forward.

If that's the case, Taurean Prince and Kyle Anderson may split time at the four and draw additional interest from the DFS community.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This doesn't come as a surprise considering it's the second game of a back-to-back set. The Wolves want to keep Towns healthy, so they'll give him a rest day on Monday.

Towns will be a huge boost to this team, but fantasy managers should proceed with caution in case there are any minute restrictions.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) is listed as questionable to play Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks. Towns has not played since November 28th, but there is optimism he may finally return on Wednesday.

KAT continues to battle a right calf strain, an injury that has caused him to miss over two months. Fantasy managers are certainly hoping he'll be back sooner rather than later.
