TS%+8.6 ptsProbably real

Towns's TS% is up 8.6 points over his last 25 games of the season (67.8% vs 59.2%). Most of it is shot-making: his TS% was 4.5 points above what his shot spots predict (4.5 points below before), with Miles McBride out. Probably real: about 70% should hold.

Day-To-DayTowns was solid, if unspectacular, as New York fell to 0-3 in preseason play. The standout center has played in each of the first three contests but will take a seat for the second half of the back-to-back set Tuesday at Toronto. Towns' next chance to suit up will come Thursday at home against the Raptors. Expected back: 2026-10-15.
