NBA Daily Notes: The Knicks finally win; Top fantasy picks for January 5th

PF 1 - Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks)

Milwaukee Bucks face a tough game against the Toronto Raptors

The Milwaukee Bucks are a team that are currently enjoying a great spell of basketball. They are at the top of the Eastern Conference with a 27-10 record.

They have won nine of their last 10 matches and are on a 5 game winning streak. They have adapted to their new coach's system fairly quickly and it has reaped results as well. Finally, Giannis seems like a player unlocked.

Giannis has been the frontrunner for the MVP award this season, averaging a monstrous 26 points per game, along with more than 12 rebounds and 6 assists per game too, a quality only a handful of big men have.

Giannis is now getting more space than he has ever gotten on the court and is making full use of it. In the blowout win over the Atlanta Hawks, Giannis had 16 points, 10 assists and 8 rebounds along with 1 steal and 2 blocks, all in just 19 minutes.

He still can improve his game by shooting the three balls better but the Bucks will need him at his best tomorrow against the second-placed Raptors and if the Bucks want to keep the top spot.

Alternate pick: N/A
