Carmelo Anthony starting for Portland on Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Carmelo Anthony is in the starting lineup on Tuesday in the team's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

What It Means:

Damian Lillard is out on Tuesday with back spasms, so a spot is up for grabs in the starting lineup. Anthony will apparently get the nod in his Blazers debut, though he's going to be limited to about 20 minutes.

Our models project Anthony for 9.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 16.5 FanDuel points across 20.3 minutes of action.
