NBA 2019-20: 5 Best road teams in the league right now

#2 Los Angeles Lakers (20-5)

The Lakers are legit contenders to make it out of the West

When a team has two generational talents leading from the front, things eventually fall in place. LeBron James and Anthony Davis have been excelling at both ends of the floor, and with reliable contributions from the support crew, the Los Angeles Lakers have dropped only 5 of their 25 road games played this year so far.

The team is top 5 in both offensive and defensive rating and is currently leading the Western Conference leaderboard with an imposing 36-10 (0.783) win-loss record. To put the dual-headed stats into perspective, the Lakers are league-leaders in field-goal percentage (48.4) as well as blocks per game (7.1).

On days when their stars have missed the spotlight, the depth on this talented roster has stepped up in thrilling fashion.

#1 Milwaukee Bucks (19-4)

The Bucks are playing with a new-found drive

The Milwaukee Bucks have found their way back to the top of the NBA, and are doing so in effortless fashion. Having lost only 4 of their 23 road games this season so far, the Bucks have been the definition of hardnosed resilience.

Milwaukee holds a league-best win-loss record (41-6) at the moment, and have separated themselves from the rest of the pack by a fair margin. Led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, the team has been playing with high intensity on both ends of the floor, and desperate to make a big splash in the playoffs this year around after falling dramatically to the Raptors the year before.

Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry recently projected his team of being equipped enough to beat Jordan's 1995-96 Chicago Bulls (72-10) this season.
