Carmelo Anthony will sit out Sunday's game against Indiana to rest.

Anthony will sit out Sunday's game against Indiana to rest.

Analysis:

According to Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News, interim coach Kurt Rambis noted that he anticipated Anthony's absence to be a "one-game thing", so don't be concerned if you're relying on Anthony in season-long leagues. Cleanthony Early, who is coming off of a seven-point, six-rebound performance Friday against the Nets, will get the start in Anthony's place, but will be a risky play in daily leagues given his inconsistency as a scorer this season. Expect Anthony to return Wednesday against the Hornets to play his normal minutes in the final few games of the season.
