NBA Power Rankings Week 19: Bucks and Lakers continue to dominate as the Rockets build momentum

#3 Toronto Raptors - Record: 42-15

The Toronto Raptors have been excellent since the turn of the year

The Toronto Raptors set another record on Sunday evening as they beat the Pacers by a franchise-record margin. The 127-81 win further demonstrated that the reigning champions are a serious threat to advance from the East, and Nick Nurse's side will be looking forward to their blockbuster showdown with the Bucks on Tuesday.

#2 Los Angeles Lakers - Record: 43-12

LeBron James and the Lakers are on course to finish top of the Western Conference

The Los Angeles Lakers managed to nullify the threat of Ja Morant during Friday's win over the Grizzlies before picking up a huge win over the Celtics on Sunday afternoon. The win over Boston was important as the Lakers had suffered a 32-point loss to the same opponents back in January - and with a 42-13 record - Frank Vogel's team appear certain to take the West's number one seed.

#1 Milwaukee Bucks - Record: 48-8

Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks continue to dominate

The Milwaukee Bucks returned from the All-Star break with wins over the Pistons and Sixers. Both wins were convincing, and Giannis Antetokounmpo notably dominated his matchup with Joel Embiid during Saturday's 119-98 win over the Sixers. With four games to come over the next seven days, the Bucks are likely to hit 50 wins for the season, and a 70-win campaign remains in reach.
