#2 Milwaukee Bucks
By almost all statistical metrics, the Bucks have been comfortably the best team in the NBA this season. They sport a very impressive 55-19 record, putting them 4 games up on the Raptors in 2nd place. Their point differential is an incredible +9.4, making them among the top 30 teams statistically of all time.
This is in large part due to the stellar play of MVP candidate Giannis Antetokounmpo. He is having an incredibly well-rounded season, putting up numbers of 27.5 points, 12.6 rebounds, and 6 assists. Combine that with his phenomenal defensive ability and he’s arguably the best player in the NBA right now.
Milwaukee are far from a one-man show either. Khris Middleton made the All-Star game this season, whilst Eric Bledsoe, Malcolm Brogdon, and Brook Lopez have all emerged as strong supporting contributors. Should they hold onto the #1 seed, Milwaukee has every shot at an NBA Finals berth.
