NBA Power Rankings Week 18: Milwaukee Bucks remain on top, Philadelphia 76ers rediscover form 

#3 Toronto Raptors - Record: 40-15

The Toronto Raptors' win streak was snapped by the Nets

The Toronto Raptors defeated the Timberwolves last Monday to extend their winning streak to 15, but Nick Nurse's side finally tasted defeat two days later as they fell to the Kyrie Irving-less Nets.

However, despite the loss, the Raptors still sit second in the East with a 40-15 record - and they will be hoping to quickly get back to winning ways.

#2 Los Angeles Lakers - Record: 41-12

The Los Angeles Lakers occupy the top seed in the West

It was another great week for the Lakers as they swept aside the Suns before picking up a huge overtime win in Denver. Frank Vogel's team are now four games ahead of the second-placed Nuggets and are in pole position to secure the number one seed.

#1 Milwaukee Bucks - Record: 46-8

The Greek Freak and the Milwaukee Bucks top the NBA standings

The Bucks tasted just their eighth defeat of the season last week as they fell to the Pacers. However, they were without Giannis Antetokounmpo during the loss, and have still won eight out of the last ten games. Additionally, Milwaukee has proved to be incredibly strong both at home (25-3) and on the road (21-5), and they should continue to dominate the NBA over the final two months of the season.
