Carmelo has struggled recently, averaging just under 17 points a game on only 31 percent shooting. Getting Anthony healthy should be a priority in a lost season for the Knicks.
[sc name=”Knicks Center” ]The Knicks come into tonight’s game against the Magic at sixth in the draft lottery rankings. The Magic stand at four but only lead the Knicks, if you wanna call it that, by two games.
Whoever wins this game will almost certainly lose in the end. For the loser, they get one step closer to a date with Washington’s Markelle Fultz or UCLA’s Lonzo Ball.
This marks just the second game all season Melo will sit out.
