Ja has been solid for the Grizzlies this year. He is no longer playing at an all-star level but is still a star in his own right and remains one of the most exciting players in basketball when he is rolling. He comes into tonight's contest averaging 21.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 7.5 assists per game. He has scored 21 or more points in four out of his last five games but took just 13 shots against San Antonio on Wednesday. He faces them again tonight and should hit 20 or more points tonight, even if he is less efficient, as he is expected to have more volume. Jab the More on Ja for Friday night at Sleeper Picks.

Ant-Man continues to roll for the Timberwolves, scoring 21 or more in six of his last seven games played. He is averaging 25.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game and has become a lights out threat from deep. Edward managed just 17 points against New York when he faced them earlier this season but is always more aggressive on the road, where he averages 27.9 points per game versus just 23.6 at home. Light up the More on Edwards for Friday night basketball.

KAT is dealing with a wrist injury, so there is a chance that we remove him from consideration, even for alt lines, until he heals up a bit, but we will take a stab at him tonight due to his opponent being his former team in the Minnesota Timberwolves. No one is going to complain about moving from Minnesota to New York, especially moving from the Western Conference to an Eastern Conference light on quality bigs. Towns has recorded a double double in nine straight games and in 35 of his 40 overall. KAT went bonkers for 32 points and 20 rebounds in his lone match with the Timberwolves. Tap the More on Towns for Friday night's NBA action.
