The Knicks will be without Carmelo Anthony (knee) on Monday night

New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony (knee) will not play on Monday versus the Orlando Magic.

What It Means:

Anthony played 35 minutes on Sunday, so it could be a case of the Knicks resting their superstar, but he is listed out with knee soreness. Consider him questionable to play on Wednesday versus the Milwaukee Bucks.Lance Thomas will likely stay in the starting lineup with Mindaugas Kuzminskas and Willy Hernangomez earning more minutes.

Anthony is averaging 23.2 points and 6.0 rebounds per game with a 0.7 nERD rating this season.
