Despite migraines, 'Melo drops 32: Nuggets SF Carmelo Anthony awoke with his first migraine in a couple of years Tuesday but never once thought of sitting out that night's game against the Raptors. Good thing for the Nuggets. Anthony scored 32 points in 30 minutes of play, shooting 12 for 15. "My legs could work," he said. "As long as I could run up and down that court, I was good." The Nuggets didn't shake off the Raptors until well into the third quarter, and coach George Karl suggested it took that long for Anthony to shake off the cobwebs, too. "It's funny, man, I still have one," Anthony said after the game. "I had the aftereffects. You know if you've ever had one, they don't just go away like that. It will still be lingering around. There were some points at the beginning of the game where I felt it and then some points when I didn't. And then I got hit in the head twice and that brought it all the way back."

Fantasy Analysis
Anthony used to get migraines all the time but hadn't had one in a while. "That's why it was weird to all of a sudden wake up with one," he said. "Today I felt lethargic. All I can do is sleep. You've just got to sleep it away. I'm all right, though. I played. We won. I can't complain." And even with the throbbing headache, 'Melo was 'Melo. "Carmelo did a good job of creating shots for other guys," Raptors forward Antoine Wright said, referring to Anthony's five assists. "He's just matured as a basketball player. He's not only looking for his shot but he's looking how to make players better and I think that's what beat us tonight." Anthony has topped 30 points seven times in 11 games so far and is apparently becoming a better passer to boot. He's clearly one of the top players in Fantasy and a must-start in all leagues.
