This matchup sets the tone for an exciting season with pivotal fantasy stats from key players.
Anthony Edwards, now the clear leader in Minnesota, had a stellar previous season averaging 25.9 PPG, and is projected to shine against the Lakers, especially after averaging 27.3 PPG in their last four matchups. With a significant volume of shots expected, he poses a challenge for the Lakers.
Karl-Anthony Towns, making his debut with the Knicks, has the opportunity to showcase his talents against the Celtics, especially with a depleted frontcourt. His three-season averages of 22.8 PPG, 9.0 RPG, and 3.6 APG indicate he will be vital on both scoring and facilitating fronts.
