Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Scores 31 points in win
Towns provided 31 points (10-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 10-13 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 37 minutes during Saturday's 122-103 win over the Wizards.
Towns delivered a dominant performance on both ends of the court, limiting the impact of Alex Sarr while also recording his 17th double-double with at least 30 points this season. The star big man has been tasked with handling a bigger workload on offense due to the absence of Jalen Brunson (ankle), and Towns has been thriving. He's averaging 24.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and a combined 1.5 steals-plus-blocks per game across 10 appearances since the beginning of March.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Double-doubles in loss to Hornets
Towns ended Thursday's 115-98 loss to the Hornets with 24 points (10-21 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists in 36 minutes.
Towns remains the most reliable scoring option for the Knicks, and while he's been experiencing an uptick in workload and usage rate due to the absence of Jalen Brunson (ankle), he's not been fazed by the uptick in workload. The star big man surpassed the 20-point mark for the seventh game in a row, a span in which he's also notched three double-doubles. Towns is averaging 25.4 points, 9.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game in that seven-game stretch.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Goes for 32 points Wednesday
Towns produced 32 points (11-21 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-9 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 120-105 loss to San Antonio.
Towns posted a strong line in this loss to the Spurs and finished just one rebound away from a double-double. However, seeing him as the Knicks' go-to option isn't surprising, especially considering Jalen Brunson (ankle) has yet to return to action. That said, this was Towns' first game with 30 or more points since Feb. 20. He's averaging 23.1 points per game since the beginning of March, and while that's not a bad figure at all, it's below the 24.4 points per contest he's averaging throughout the season.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Supplies 21 points Wednesday
Towns provided 21 points (8-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 114-113 overtime victory over the Trail Blazers.
The 29-year-old center scored more than 20 points for the third straight game, and he drained at least one three-pointer for the 15th straight appearance dating back to Feb. 1 -- a stretch in which he's averaging 22.9 points, 11.5 boards, 2.3 assists, 2.2 threes and 1.1 steals. Towns' uptick in scoring over the last week has come with Jalen Brunson (ankle) sidelined. With the star point guard out until at least the end of March, Towns will likely continue to see increased usage.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Double-double in Friday's loss
Towns provided a team-high 23 points (8-21 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Friday's 105-95 loss to the Clippers.
The veteran center has delivered a double-double in three straight appearances to begin the month of March. Towns' 46 on the season put him third in the NBA behind Domantas Sabonis (50) and Nikola Jokic (49). Towns has an active streak of 13 straight games with at least one three-pointer, and during that stretch, he's averaging 22.8 points, 12.0 rebounds, 2.2 threes, 2.1 assists and 1.0 steals.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Shooting woes in loss Thursday
Towns amassed 12 points (3-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 42 minutes during Thursday's 113-109 overtime loss to the Lakers.
Towns returned to game action after missing Monday's win over Miami due to personal reasons, recording his 45th double-double through 55 regular-season outings. However, the big man delivered a lackluster performance from the field, and over six appearances since the All-Star break, he has shot 46.0 percent from the floor and only 28.1 percent from beyond the arc. The 29-year-old has averaged 20.2 points, 13.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 three-pointers across 37.7 minutes per contest in that six-game span.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Will play vs. LAL
Towns will be available to play in Thursday's game against the Lakers, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
Towns has missed two of the last four games for the Knicks while dealing with a personal issue. However, he will return to take on the Lakers in Los Angeles, which gives the Knicks a considerable boost in the frontcourt. The star big man is averaging a career-high 13.4 rebounds to go along with 24.5 points, 3.1 assists and 1.0 steals per game while shooting 53 percent from the floor and a career-high 42.5 percent from beyond the arc.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Questionable to play Tuesday
Towns is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors due to a personal matter.
Towns had recently been on the injury report due to a knee injury, but he has played in the Knicks' last two games. A personal matter could put him at risk of sitting out Tuesday, potentially opening up more minutes at center for Precious Achiuwa and Mitchell Robinson.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Not playing Tuesday
Towns (personal) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Warriors, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Towns will miss his fifth game since the beginning of January, this time due to a personal matter. Mitchell Robinson is operating under a minutes restriction, so expect Precious Achiuwa to see a large workload Tuesday due to the absence of Towns. Towns' next opportunity to see the floor is Thursday against the Lakers, though head coach Tom Thibodeau said Tuesday that he doesn't know if Towns will be with the Knicks for their six-game West Coast road trip, per Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Records 19/16 double-double
Towns contributed 19 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 16 rebounds and one block in 40 minutes during Sunday's 116-112 overtime win over the Heat.
Towns bounced back after a subpar effort against Memphis on Friday night, but his scoring total was still below average for the standout veteran. Fortunately, the Knicks have several talented producers who can step up when other teammates falter. Towns is currently averaging 24.8 points per game, and it should only be a matter of time for Towns to post numbers in that range again.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Struggles in victory
Towns notched 11 points (4-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block across 31 minutes during Friday's 114-113 win over the Grizzlies.
Towns tied his second-lowest scoring outing of the season during his return from a one-game absence due to a knee injury. The big man was inefficient from beyond the arc, though he has still shot 43.8 percent from downtown across his last five outings. Towns has averaged 26.8 points, 12.0 rebounds, 2.8 three-pointers, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 38.2 minutes per contest in that five-game span.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Ready to go Friday
Towns (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Grizzlies, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
Towns missed Wednesday's game against the 76ers with a knee injury, but the star big man will return and should handle his regular workload as one of the Knicks' go-to options on offense. Towns is averaging 25.8 points, 12.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.1 steals per game since the beginning of February.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Questionable against Memphis
Towns (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
After missing Wednesday's win over the 76ers with a knee injury, Towns' status remains uncertain for Friday. The Knicks lost Ariel Hukporti (knee) for significant time Thursday, but Mitchell Robinson (ankle) has a chance to make his season debut against Memphis and could be thrust into a meaningful role right away if Towns cannot suit up. Precious Achiuwa could play more minutes as well.

Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Ruled out Wednesday
Towns (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
After recording a double-double in Sunday's loss to the Celtics, Towns will not suit up for Wednesday's game against Philadelphia. The veteran big man's absence will be costly for the Knicks, as he is having a career year in New York. Precious Achiuwa is likely to get a minutes boost against the 76ers and may get the start at the five.
