5. Milwaukee Bucks
After somewhat of a slow start to the season, a case can be made that the Milwaukee Bucks have been the best team in the league – certainly the Eastern Conference – over the last couple of months.
Giannis Antetokounmpo has been fantastic once again this season and while the team is still trying to get healthy and they’ve had some issues with their depth, they’ve performed quite well considering their circumstances.
The Bucks, at least for me, is still the team in the East that every other contender should be chasing. They’re going to be playing their best ball at just the right time.
