NBA Power Rankings: OKC Thunder and peers jockey for position
89. . 55-19. Previous: 2nd. milwaukee bucks. 1. team
Another solid week from the top team in the East who is dealing with adversity for the first time this season. Injuries to a slew of Bucks has them leaning more than ever on their superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo who is dealing with his own nagging injuries.
One injury report stats an ankle injury is the issue while another cites a calf problem. The reality is with the load Giannis carries it’s likely he’s nursing a number of issues.
Watch for Coach Bud to ease up on the stars minutes particularly once the team nails down home court throughout the playoffs.
