Sam Reinhart scored a hat trick, doled out an assist, blocked one shot and went plus-6 in an 8-4 win over the Blue Jackets Monday night.  

Fantasy Implications: Reinhart has been on fire since the start of the new year. The 26-year old winger finishes the month of January (including a three-game stint on the sidelines while in the NHL's COVID-19 protocols) with six goals, 19 points and a plus-14 rating in 12 games played.  

Karl-Anthony Towns registers a triple-double in win

Karl-Anthony Towns scored 31 points (10-17 FG, 3-4 Pt, 8-9 FT), 11 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals  in Sunday's 126-106 win against the Jazz.

Fantasy Implications: Towns picked up a rare triple-double, registering his first double-digit assists performance of the 2021-22 campaign.  The 26-year old center is currently playing well, averaging 24.2 points, 10.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.2 blocks in the 13 games he has played in January.

Caris LeVert registers 10 points in loss to Charlotte

Caris LeVert posted 10 points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds and five assists in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 158-126 loss to the Hornets.

Fantasy Implications:  This marked the second consecutive game LeVert has played following a calf injury, and only the sixth game he has played in January.  The 27-year old guard missed the first five games of the month because of league protocols.  LeVert has averaged 20.2 points, five rebounds and 5.3 assists in 30.3 minutes in the limited action he has seen this month.
