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.
