3. Milwaukee Bucks (11-4)

Last week: 3

Through the first month of the season, the Milwaukee Bucks have been the third best team in the NBA, and second best in the Eastern Conference. While Giannis Antetokounmpo has been a big part of that, this is a team that has really come together under Mike Budenholzer.

Milwaukee has the second best offense in the NBA and fourth best defense. They’re currently the only team in the NBA that has both a top five offense and defense, and that is certainly something to keep an eye on.

It should also be noted that this team has the best net rating in the NBA, outscoring opponents by more than 10 points per game. Impressive all around.
