The best team in the league, Milwaukee Bucks are on track to win 70 games this season which is staggering considering only Chicago Bulls and the Golden State Warriors have achieved that feat.

They have the MVP among their ranks in the form of Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is once again likely to defend the honor. With the likes of Lopez brothers, Khris Middleton and the Greek Freak, the Bucks are absolutely monstrous on the defensive end of the floor. They have the second-best net rating in the fourth quarter, which is a testament to how solid they have been on both the ends of the floor.

With the Greek Freak running the offense for Mike Bundeholzer and co. Milwaukee has one of the most efficient attacks in the league filled with sharpshooters and big men.


#1 Oklahoma City Thunder - 9.8

The Oklahoma City Thunder are the most clutch team in the NBA right now. Led by the most clutch player in the league in Chris Paul, the Thunder are sitting fifth in the Western Conference and are only four games behind the Denver Nuggets who hold the second spot.

After losing Paul Goerge and Russell Westbrook in the offseason, many predicted the Thunder to struggle this campaign despite possessing the likes of Paul, Steven Adams, and Danilo Gallinari. However, they have been one of the surprise packages of the season. Billy Donovan and co. have shown great character and refused to quit in close games.

With the progress to the playoffs looking increasingly likely, the Thunder can make some serious noise in the postseason.
