Team record: 2-1

Week averages: 38.3 points, 9.7 rebounds, 5.0 assists on 67.2% shooting

If Milwaukee wins enough games, Giannis Antetokounmpo is going to be a serious contender for this season's MVP. Through three games, he has almost single-handedly led the team to two wins and recorded insane box scores in the process.

The one loss came was a tough one against the Cleveland Cavaliers, where the deeper team led by LeBron James just took over the game in the fourth quarter. But in the other games, Antetokounmpo has led from the front and ensured the team came away with the win.

The 'Greek Freak' recorded his career-high 44 points against the Portland Trail Blazers, not to mention his clutch plays (a steal, a fastbreak dunk and a block). He dedicated this memorable performance to his late father, who had only recently passed away.
