In the latest edition of our NBA Power Rankings, the Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks rule the Eastern Conference.

Through the first quarter of the season, the Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks have been the two best teams in the league. They have also begun to separate themselves from the rest of the Eastern Conference.

And the scary part (for the rest of the league) is that neither of the teams is fully healthy. That means that both have room to improve before the start of the playoffs.

Can anyone catch the Celtics or Bucks in the East?

Heading into the second quarter of the regular season, you have to wonder whether there’s another team in the conference that will be able to catch the Celtics or Bucks. At least for now, it doesn’t seem that way.

So as the Bucks and Celtics continue to cruise, let’s explore a full breakdown of the rest of this week’s NBA Power Rankings.
