Milwaukee Bucks are playing some really well basketball

Preview:

The Milwaukee Bucks are playing really well this season under their new head coach, Mike Budenholzer. They are second in the Eastern Conference with a 29-12 record. They have won 7 of their last 10 games but lost their most recent game.

Last 3 games:

1. 11/1/2019: L - Washington Wizards, 106-113
2. 9/1/2019: W - Houston Rockets, 116-109
3. 7/1/2019: W - Utah Jazz, 114-102

Player performance and review:

Giannis Antetokounmpo has been the leading MVP candidate this season for his exceptional performances. He is scoring just under 27 points per game this season, along with just under 13 rebounds and 6 assists per game as well.

He is an exceptional defender due to massive length, averaging more than a steal and a block per game.

In the loss to the Wizards, Giannis did not play due to a nagging hip injury but in the win over the Rockets, Giannis scored a huge 27 points and pulled down 21 rebounds. He also had 5 assists along with a steal. The Bucks will be hoping Giannis is back for the game against the Atlanta Hawks tomorrow.

Alternate pick: Pascal Siakam (Toronto Raptors)
