Nick Whalen: Karl-Anthony Towns OVER 21.5 points (-117) vs. LA Lakers -- DraftKings Sportsbook
Obviously, the Lakers are without Anthony Davis, so that removes the player best-suited to guard Towns for most of the night. The Lakers have some other options -- Montrezl Harrell, Marc Gasol, Markieff Morris, even LeBron James -- but none of them are overly appealing matchups, and Towns should be able to take advantage. As a scorer, Towns has been relatively quiet since returning from a COVID-19 absence, but without Davis in the lineup this is a great spot for him to be productive against a defense that will be without its best asset.
Joe Bartel: Kyle Lowry under 5.5 rebounds (-139) - (DraftKings Sportsbook 12:45 PM CT)
The odds on this are just dreadful considering Lowry is on pace to nearly set a career-high in rebounds per game (5.4 through 24 games), but the Bucks are dominant when it comes to limiting opposing point guards in rebounds. This is probably more of a parlay piece than anything else, but it just seems unlikely the veteran guard will sniff anything close to this over Tuesday.
