The Milwaukee Bucks have put a slow start behind them and are playing some of their best basketball of the season. They'll face another team that is playing better of late when they visit the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday night.

The Milwaukee Bucks have played better basketball after the atrocious start to the 2024-25 NBA season but they could be one piece away from seriously contending for a championship. We have collected a priority list of targets the Bucks have going right now.

Milwaukee Bucks (24-17, fourth in the Eastern Conference) vs. New Orleans Pelicans (12-32, 14th in the Western Conference) New Orleans; Wednesday, 8 p.m. EST BOTTOM LINE: New Orleans hosts the Milwaukee Bucks after CJ McCollum scored 45 points in the New Orleans Pelicans' 123-119 overtime win over the Utah Jazz.

McCollum has shouldered more of the scoring load in games the Pelicans have been without Zion Williamson. He is averaging 30.6 points in January in the seven games Williamson has missed. McCollum is averaging just 13 points in the four games Williamson also played.

The Pelicans trailed by 25 points before rallying, mostly behind McCollum, to win their fourth straight and seventh in the last 10. It's been an incredible midseason turnaround for New Orleans, which has gone 12-32 while battling through a rash of key injuries and illnesses.
