The New York Knicks are decimated without Towns, Mitchell Robinson (ankle) and Josh Hart (abdomen), so it'll be up to the likes of Guerschon Yabusele, Ariel Hukporti, Jordan Clarkson and Pacome Dadiet to step up in the frontcourt.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Iffy for Thursday
Karl-Anthony Towns is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pacers due to left knee soreness.Towns presumably picked up the injury during Tuesday's 124-113 victory over San Antonio. Given that Thursday is the front end of a back-to-back, it wouldn't be surprising if the New York Knicks hold out the superstar big man. With Mitchell Robinson (ankle) also questionable, New York could be down to Guerschon Yabusele and Ariel Hukporti at center.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Double-doubles in win
Karl-Anthony Towns finished Tuesday's 124-113 victory over San Antonio with 16 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and two steals over 30 minutes.Towns recorded his 19th double-double of the season, although he appeared to suffer an injury during the game. While he was able to close the game, he remained on the bench until late in the fourth quarter, working on what seemed to be a calf issue. While there has been no official word from the team, fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on the injury report, especially seeing as though Towns has been dealing with calf issues for the past few weeks.
