Karl-Anthony Towns (FanDuel Price: $9,300) - Towns has been a beast on the glass this season, ranking fifth in boards per game (12.1) and ninth in total rebound percentage (20.1%) while grabbing double-digit rebounds in 50 of 58 games this season. The dominance should continue on Sunday as his Minnesota Timberwolves face the Sacramento Kings, a team that has struggled to contain opposing centers due in large part to their bottom-three rank in rebound rate. The Kings give up the fifth-most FanDuel points to centers, and Towns has already exploited that weakness, dropping a season-high 72.8 FanDuel points on Sacramento back on December 14th.
