ANALYSIS: Anthony made a largely successful comeback in Portland, starting in all 58 games he played and averaging 15.4 points to go with 6.3 rebounds per contest. Perhaps the most noticeable improvement came as a shooter. Anthony knocked down over 38 percent of his jumpers -- a clip he has exceeded just one other time in his career (2013-14). If Melo can remain a quality floor-spacing threat, his offense gives a boost to the Blazers.
