#3 LA Clippers - Record: 22-10
The Clippers have won just two of their past five games, and Doc Rivers will be disappointed by his team's fourth-quarter performance during the loss to the Thunder on Sunday night. However, LA still looks like the best team in the league when Kawhi Leonard features, and they will be looking to make a major statement on Christmas Day when they face the Lakers.

#2 Los Angeles Lakers - Record: 24-6
Following an incredible start to the season, the Lakers have been back down to earth over the past seven days. The Lakers' winning streak on the road was bought to an end by the Pacers, before Frank Vogel's team suffered further defeats to the Bucks and Nuggets. Nevertheless, they still sit three games clear at the top of the West standings, and LeBron James should return for the blockbuster matchup against the Clippers.
#1 Milwaukee Bucks - Record: 27-4
Milwaukee's winning streak was snapped by the Mavericks at the start of the week, although the team responded by picking up a huge statement win over the Lakers. Giannis Antetokounmpo and co. also blew out the Knicks before disposing of the impressive Pacers on Sunday night - and the Bucks will head into Christmas with the NBA's best record.
