Carmelo Anthony - Puts up 20 points in loss Anthony chipped in 20 points (8-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and seven rebounds in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 126-121 loss to Philadelphia.
Impact The Lakers got plenty of production from their veterans Wednesday, with Anthony, Dwight Howard and Russell Westbrook combining for 68 points. This was Anthony's first performance of 20-plus points since he scored 20 against Dallas on March 1. The 37-year-old is averaging 13.6 points on 44.6 percent shooting in his first season as a Laker.
MARCH 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Dwight Howard - Turns back clock with 24 points Howard ended with 24 points (9-14 FG, 6-9 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 126-121 loss to the 76ers.
Impact Howard registered his highest scoring output of the season, surpassing the 14-point total he had previously posted on two separate occasions. The veteran center also logged his second-most playing time of the campaign, and he finished with his highest rebound total since Feb. 27. Howard has started each of the last four contests in which he has played, but he logged less than 20 minutes in two of those games and finished with a DNP-CD on Saturday. The inconsistent playing time makes him difficult to roster in most fantasy formats.

Russell Westbrook - Leads LeBron-less Lakers Westbrook finished with 24 points (10-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-5 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 126-121 loss to the 76ers.
Impact Westbrook was tasked with leading the Lakers offense in the absence of LeBron James (knee), and he helped Los Angeles stay competitive against a talented 76ers squad. The veteran point guard tied for the team lead with 24 points, and rounded out a strong overall line with nine boards and eight assists, though his numbers were somewhat tainted by his seven turnovers. Westbrook has been playing well of late, scoring 20-plus points in four straight contests and shooting 52.2 percent from the field over that stretch.

LeBron James - Won't play Wednesday James (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Impact James was considered questionable for Wednesday's contest with knee soreness, per usual, and he won't be available for Wednesday's matchup with Philadelphia. The Lakers' next game isn't until Sunday at New Orleans, so the 37-year-old will have a couple extra days to rest up. Russell Westbrook and Malik Monk figure to handle bigger offensive workloads with James out.
