Carmelo Anthony pours in game-high 27 points to lead Thunder past Lakers
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Carmelo Anthony scored 27 points (10-of-15 field goals, 3-of-3 free throws) with 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 4 3-pointers in 27.5 minutes of Wednesday's 114-90 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.
What It Means:
The points were a game-high for Anthony, who topped 25 points for the first time since November 9 and just the fourth time all season. It also snapped a three-game shooting slump that saw him make just 15-of-52 (28.9 percent) from the field. Carmelo and company will face the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday at home.
Melo scored 36.6 FanDuel points on Wednesday, compared to his average of 29.2 FanDuel points per game this season.
