4. Milwaukee Bucks
Last Week’s Ranking: 6
Not the best end to the week for the Bucks. They handled their business by sweeping the Pistons miniseries and beating the Cavs. Their lone loss was against a Jazz team that caught fire from three. The bigger issue is Giannis Antetokounmpo back spasms forced him to miss the game against the Cavs. It is a good thing Khris Middleton has been killing it this season.
After just 10 games, Middleton is making a run at joining the 50/50/90 club. He’s shooting 55.6 percent from the field, 50.9 from three and 96.8 percent from the line. On top of all this, he’s leading Milwaukee in assists with 5.9 a game.
Milwaukee’s record is not as gaudy as it was last year, but the Bucks are still dominant. They are the only team in the NBA with a double-digit net rating. As long as Antetokounmpo’s back spasms do not turn into a long-term problem, the Bucks will be just fine.
