No surprise on Steph and KD, who played through their respective issues on Friday against the Thunder, and came into today with a probable designation. Iguodala will miss his second consecutive contest with a sore knee. Omri Caspi saw the benefit of Iggy's absence on Friday, while in past instances that Iguodala has been unavailable Nick Young saw the bulk of the workload off of the bench, so proceed with caution here if looking for a punt play as you'll be at the mercy of coach Kerr's whim.
The Spurts have decided to give LMA the night off as they head into a back to back set, and are probably taking similar precaution with Gay who has been dealing with a sore right heel. Kyle Anderson should see a ton of minutes thrown his way in the depleted Spurs front court, while Joffrey Lauvergne will also benefit from the absence of Aldridge in today's game in Oklahoma City. Parker meanwhile is still working his way back from injury and has had no fantasy relevance to this point. His absence today only means Dejounte Murray could potentially see a return to relevance.

The theme of today is blowout risk, as we have four games scheduled tonight and three of them have a point spread of 10.5 or greater. It's going to be impossible to avoid. Both of our every lineup plays today come from the same game, which sports a 12.5 point differential and is projected for a modest 213 total. First up is Minnesota Timberwolves big man Karl-Anthony Towns. Towns is seeing less usage this season than he has in the past, likely due to the addition of Jimmy Butler and Jeff Teague to the lineup. The plus side to this is we are getting a player that has shown a ceiling of 50 or more fantasy points on multiple occasions already this season carrying a price tag of $9K or less. KAT is seeing plenty of court time this season, averaging over 35 minutes per game in his last ten contests, and today will take on a Clippers team ranked among the top ten defenses to target at the center position. Cash games are going to be a tricky proposition on a slate like this, but Karl-Anthony provides some much needed safety at the five.
Opponent - MIN
Proj Pts FD - 40.63 DK - 42.47
Sticking with this same game we have Lou Williams. The shot just wasn't there for Sweet Lou last night as he only managed 18 points and six assists against the Mavericks. It was his worst performance since moving into the starters role four games ago, and certainly an outlier, as Williams has proven himself to be a capable starting guard after some solid performances off of the bench. He's averaging eight more points per game as a starter and averaging 35.5 minutes per start. The Wolves allow a very attractive 26.3 points to opposing two-guards so Williams is in a great position to return to form tonight, since that's where his bread is buttered.
