Who would have thought that the Bucks would be at the second spot on the Eastern Conference Standings after one month of NBA action. But if you had been following the Bucks basketball, this should not be a surprise.

Led by the 'Greek Freak', they are bringing the pain to the opposition on a nightly basis after starting the season with seven straight wins. Giannis has made strong case for MVP in the first month and is averaging 25.6 points, 12.7 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game. The league does not seem to have any answers for him as he keeps dominating them every time he steps his foot on the court.

Their first-month heroics includes wins against strong teams like Toronto Raptors, Indiana Pacers, Philadelphia 76ers and have even blown out the Golden State Warriors. However, Giannis is not the only one doing the damage.

Khris Middleton is averaging 19.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game and is shooting at 46.7 percent from the field, including 44.5 percent from distance. Brook Lopez seems to have worked on his three-point shooting in the off-season and is shooting deep threes with a high accuracy and is spreading the floor and the Bucks are on pace to end the regular season as a top three team in the east.
