The Milwaukee Bucks are off to a great start this NBA season. They are led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is having a MVP level season.

The Bucks are currently second in the Eastern Conference with a 16-7 record, and lead the NBA in points scored per game. They also lead the NBA in total rebounds per game, and beat the defending champions Golden State Warriors at the Oracle Arena.

Giannis is the front runner for the MVP award at this point of the season, and he is getting great support from Khris Middleton. Malcolm Brogdon and Eric Bledsoe have also been terrific for the Bucks, while Brook Lopez has added the much needed perimeter threat.

Judging from the early season form, the Bucks are one of the favorites to advance deep in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Some are even tipping them to emerge as the Eastern Conference champions.
