Carmelo Anthony Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Lakers power forward Carmelo Anthony (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game vs. Oklahoma City, his second straight outing on the sidelines. The Lakers are holding out their primary offensive contributors alongside Anthony, with LeBron James (ankle), Anthony Davis (foot) and Russell Westbrook (shoulder) all missing at least Friday's outing. Anthony's absence from the second unit paves the way for Wayne Ellington, Kent Bazemore, and Wenyen Gabriel to all carry elevated roles against an exploitable Thunder defense. The veteran's last chance to suit up this year comes Sunday against Denver.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Carmelo Anthony (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He'll join the big three on the sideline since the Lakers have clearly waved the white flag. Head coach Frank Vogel mentioned that all of these players could be available for Friday's contest. In the meantime, Malik Monk should have excellent streaming value. Also, Stanley Johnson and Wenyen Gabriel should see significant minutes on Thursday. Gabriel has shown solid flashes whenever he gets significant playing time.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Carmelo Anthony (illness) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The veteran forward was forced to sit out during their last contest due to a non-COVID related illness. His absence allowed more playing time for Malik Monk and Stanley Johnson. They'd once again be asked to step up, assuming Anthony sits out. Otherwise, they'd all split up the playing time with Anthony returning, but he has been too inconsistent to trust in fantasy leagues right now.

Los Angeles Lakers power forward Carmelo Anthony led all bench scorers during Tuesday's loss to Dallas with 20 points across 31 minutes. In three games since returning from a hamstring ailment, Anthony has combined for 51 points on 50% shooting, including going 40% from behind the arc. Without Anthony Davis (ankle) available for at least two more weeks, Anthony stands to have elevated offensive upside. He remains L.A.'s clear top scoring threat on the second unit, having recently enjoyed a spate of steals with five in his last three contests. His next outing comes Thursday vs. the Clippers, whom he has combined to shoot 8-for-14 from behind the arc against this year, making him a solid DFS option at his current price range.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Carmelo Anthony (hamstring) will return to the court for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He has missed each of the last five games, but will return here. Anthony should see an increased role with Anthony Davis (foot) sidelined. It doesn't sound like the Lakers are planning on limiting Anthony during Friday's game. That means, fantasy managers should check the waiver wire and see if Anthony is available. He'll be worth a look as a fantasy option with Davis sidelined for the next few weeks.

Los Angeles Lakers power forward Carmelo Anthony (hamstring) was able to log a full practice session Thursday, which has bumped his status up to probable for Friday's contest vs. the Clippers. Anthony sustained his hamstring ailment in the team's most recent L.A. vs. L.A. matchup on Feb. 3, with the Lakers' second unit scuffling in his absence. With Anthony Davis (foot) sidelined, Anthony figures to take on a sizable offensive role, elevating his season-long appeal to begin the second half. The 2.3 triples that Anthony has averaged on a nightly basis this season are on track to tie his career best, previously set in 2012-13.

Los Angeles Lakers power forward Carmelo Anthony (hamstring) has been ruled out for a fourth consecutive contest, this time missing Saturday's outing vs. Golden State. L.A.'s second unit has primarily relied on Talen Horton-Tucker and Stanley Johnson for elevated usage in Anthony's absence. Prior to being injured, Anthony was in an offensive rhythm, averaging 14.6 points over his last nine games, shooting 40.8 percent from behind the arc in that span. The Lakers have been mum on a return to action for Anthony, with just one game remaining (Wednesday against the Jazz) prior to the All-Star break.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Carmelo Anthony (hamstring) has already been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. However, it was announced that Anthony will also sit out Wednesday's game versus the Portland Trail Blazers as well. The veteran forward will miss both games of the back-to-back set. His absence will mean more minutes and shots coming for Malik Monk. He has been playing well lately and is someone worth snagging in most fantasy formats right now. Monk will also be worth a look as a possible low-cost DFS option for Tuesday's slate.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Carmelo Anthony (hamstring) won't play against the Knicks. The veteran tweaked his right hamstring on Thursday versus the Clippers and didn't return as a result. LeBron James (knee) is unlikely to suit up, so Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis should continue to handle most of the offensive chances. Yet, Malik Monk, Austin Reaves, and Talen Horton-Tucker should also benefit, although Monk is the better fantasy option.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Carmelo Anthony (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. He has missed each of the last two games due to lower back tightness. The Lakers might take the cautious approach here and let Anthony have another night off to fully recover. Talen Horton-Tucker, and Trevor Ariza would be asked to pick up the slack, assuming Anthony is out. Horton-Tucker is the better option between the two, but neither have much streaming appeal.
