Towns leads all 7-footers in drives to the rim. Yet, he averages just 2.4 free throw attempts off drives per game.

Towns, who had 17 points and 22 rebounds in the loss, received roughly 1.1 million votes in the first returns of the fan All-Star ballot, the third-highest in the East behind just Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jayson Tatum. Last year with the Timberwolves, Towns only accumulated just 139,642 votes in the first round of fan voting.

The Thunder (30-6) are fresh off their first loss in over a month. The Cleveland Cavaliers snapped OKC's franchise-best 15-game win streak on Wednesday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 31 points. Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen each had a 20-plus-point double-double.

Bet on an eager Oklahoma City Thunder team to outlast the New York Knicks in this matchup's prediction if Karl-Anthony Towns is sidelined.
