Carmelo Anthony's debut with Portland was a bit shaky and the 10-time All-Star aims for a better showing when the Trail Blazers visit the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. Anthony had just 10 points on 4-of-14 shooting in Tuesday's 115-104 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans.

The New Orleans Pelicans are pulling themselves up after a slow start and are coming off their first back-to-back wins of the season. The Pelicans will try to make it three straight and five of seven when they open a three-game road trip by visiting the Phoenix Suns on Thursday.
