Carmelo Anthony News
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.
