Milwaukee Bucks

Record Prediction: 33-49

I had high hopes for this Milwaukee Bucks team. I honestly thought last season was an aberration and thought they had enough to make it back to the postseason this year.

Though, after the loss of Khris Middleton, who will likely miss the entire season with a torn hamstring, I’m not sure the Bucks will even get to .500.

Middleton was this team’s best offensive player and most consistent and durable performer. I’m just not sure the Bucks will be able to replace that – with or without a trade. Milwaukee will have their moments at different points this season, but I can’t see this team creeping into the playoffs. Nope.
