Carmelo Anthony scores 21 points as Trailblazers advance to playoffs

Carmelo Anthony scored 21 points against the Memphis Grizzlies during Portland's win in the play-in game. Anthony also had three rebounds, one assist, and one block.
Fantasy Impact:
Anthony ended up with a decent stat line despite his poor shooting night (5-of-15 on field goals, 1-of-6 on three-pointers). Anthony did make his one three-pointer count as he hit the clutch shot with under a minute left in the 4th quarter. It will be interesting to see how the Trailblazers use Anthony moving forward, especially in a match up against LeBron James. Anthony has the size to guard James, but the Trailblazers may look to a more athletic defender during their first round match up against the Los Angeles Lakers.
