CARMELO ANTHONY NEWS

Posts 24 points against former club Anthony finished with 24 points (8-12 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 99-94 win over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Anthony came to the Lakers in the offseason following two seasons in Portland, and he haunted his former team Wednesday with his highest scoring and rebounding output since Dec. 28. The veteran forward did much of his offensive damage from beyond the arc, making five of six attempts from three-point range. Anthony's first year with Los Angeles has been inconsistent, but he has played relatively well of late with 15.5 points (on 48.3 percent shooting), 4.5 boards, 1.4 assists, 2.3 triples and 1.0 blocks over his past eight games.

Solid performance off bench Anthony ended Friday's 117-114 loss to the Hornets with 19 points (5-12 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals in 35 minutes.

Impact Anthony struggled from distance, but he was aggressive all night long and led the Lakers' bench with 19 points thanks to seven trips to the free-throw line. With Anthony Davis (wrist) and LeBron James (knee) out, he also handled more of the playmaking duties and dished out a season-high five assists. On the defensive side, the veteran forward ratcheted up the intensity, registering multiple blocks and steals in the same game for just the fourth time this season. Anthony has mostly been a three-point specialist this season, but his overall fantasy value increases when the Lakers have one or more of their stars sidelined.
