Record: 27-22
First Half Highlight: Google Giannis Antetokounmpo
Analysis: In one of the biggest surprises this season, considering their circumstances, the Milwaukee Bucks have been quite the story this year.
The Bucks, after losing rookie forward Jabari Parker (knee) for the season after just 25 games this season, are sixth seed in the Eastern Conference playoff picture. They currently lead the seventh seed (Charlotte Hornets) by five games and only trail the fifth seed (Chicago Bulls) by two games. Amazing.
Jason Kidd has led these young Bucks to quite a feat, and should warrant consideration for Coach of the Year.
If the Bucks can clinch a playoff berth and build off of this season next year, this franchise will be in good hands going forward. Especially with Parker on the mend.
Grade: B
Next: Minnesota Timberwolves
