Double-doubles in win
Towns tallied 16 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and two steals across 30 minutes in Thursday's 112-106 win over the Celtics.
Analyse
Towns didn't deliver his most efficient shooting performance from beyond the arc but still finished as New York's third-leading scorer behind Josh Hart (26) and Jalen Brunson (25). Towns turned in a solid all-around outing, grabbing a team-high 12 rebounds and recording multiple steals for a second straight game. The star big man also notched his third straight appearance with a double-double or better and has logged four such performances over his last five games, during which he has averaged 18.8 points, 12.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.0 steals per contest.

Not listed on injury report
Towns (elbow) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's game in Atlanta.
Analyse
Towns will return from a one-game absence Monday, which will likely shift Mitchell Robinson back to the second unit, and there will be fewer minutes available for Mohamed Diawara and Ariel Hukporti. Towns is averaging 20.1 points, 11.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.5 triples and 1.3 stocks per game this season.

Takes part in practice
Towns (elbow) participated in practice Sunday, Jared Schwartz of the New York Post reports.
Analyse
Towns was held out of Friday's game against Chicago after suffering a right elbow injury, but it appears he's trending in the right direction after practicing Sunday morning. The team should have an official designation for the big man closer to Monday's game in Atlanta.
