ABOUT THE TRAIL BLAZERS (5-10): Anthony started against the Pelicans, playing 24 minutes, and Portland coach Terry Stotts liked what he saw even though the 35-year-old committed five turnovers and the fact that the Trail Blazers were outscored by 20 during Anthony's time on the floor. "To be honest, I thought he looked good," Stotts told reporters. "I thought offensively he got looks, he got good looks at the basket. I thought he got fouled at least two or three times taking it strong to the basket. He then came away empty, so that kind of affected his (stat) line. But I thought, for (only) having a morning shootaround, I thought it was pretty good." Of course, the rhythm of the offense was sabotaged by the absence of Lillard, who will sit out for the second straight game on Thursday.

ABOUT THE BUCKS (11-3): Star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo recorded 33 points and 11 rebounds against the Hawks and he leads the NBA with nine outings of at least 30 points and 10 rebounds. Point guard Eric Bledsoe scored 17 of his 28 points in the fourth quarter to fuel a 44-point stanza against Atlanta and he has tallied 20 or more points in six of the past eight games. "He got hot and made a few 3s early," Milwaukee coach Mike Budenholzer said afterward. "Bled was pretty good."
