1. Milwaukee Bucks (42-14)
It’s not really a surprise that the Milwaukee Bucks continue to sit atop our NBA Power Rankings for what feels like the last month, however this is a team will enter the NBA’s All-Star break with the leagues best record.
And at the NBA Trade Deadline, this team did get better by adding Nikola Mirotic, who was being wasted away on the Pelicans roster. The Bucks added another deep threat to their rotation, and will no question be one of the East’s most dangerous teams once the playoffs begin.
If not the favorites, the Bucks will be one of the legitimate teams that could make it out of the East. Whether they could compete with the likes of the Warriors is another story, but led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, there’s no question that the intrigue will be there.
How long will they stay on top, though?
