2018-19 NBA Eastern Conference: Central Division Standings so far

#1 Milwaukee Bucks

The Bucks are way more than the sum of their individual parts.

Milwaukee has taken the East by storm, now 2.5 games clear of the second place Toronto Raptors. They are an imposing 13-1 when playing Central Division teams and their current win-loss record of 51-17 (0.750) on the season leads the division, Conference and League.

They possess the best defensive rating in the league as of now, clocking in the second best average of blocks per game. Moreover, the collective machinery of Giannis, Bledsoe, and Middleton has got them covered with a top-five offense as well.

With the valuable addition of Nikola Mirotic and Pau Gasol, the margin of error when playing this team has only become tighter. And come postseason, they have all the weapons needed to make it all the way.

Having lost just five games in total at home this season, the Bucks are surely the team to beat this year around if the Warriors want a three-peat to their name.
