2. Milwaukee Bucks (20-3)
Led by Giannis, the Bucks have picked up where they left off last season. They’re dominant, explosive and are only getting better. Which should be absolutely terrifying to hear if you reside in the Eastern Conference. Many didn’t know how the Bucks would react this season, especially after losing Malcolm Brogdon in free agency.
Though, they haven’t missed a beat and appear better than they were a year ago – if that’s even possible. Perhaps the Bucks should be considered the favorites to win the NBA title?
1. Los Angeles Lakers (20-3)
If you’ve been paying attention, you should not be surprised by the Lakers checking in at the No. 1 spot. LeBron James looks like LeBron James again, and Anthony Davis has been everything that this team needed last season. Even though the Lakers might not be the deepest team in the West, they are certainly the ones with the most top talent.
If the Lakers manage to remain healthy for the entire season, I have a hard time seeing how this team won’t be in the Western Conference Finals with a great chance at getting back to the NBA Finals.
