6. Milwaukee Bucks (32-25)

Should the Milwaukee Bucks have made that DeAndre Jordan trade to put them over the top? or is this where the Greek Freak leads Milwaukee to postseason success?

The Greek Freak recently fell on his ankle, which in turn scared Milwaukee fans back into their homes during this cold front, thankfully he’s back doing freaky things.

Since dumping Jason Kidd, something has clicked for Milwaukee. The Bucks are 8-2 in their past 10 games and they have some of the most underrated players in the league all on the same team (a la … Eric Bledsoe, Khris Middleton, Jabari Parker, Thon Maker, Malcom Brogden, etc.)

This rugged team is definitely the biggest wild card in the East, time for Giannis to shine and begin his legacy as a Bucks hero.
