With 23 to 25 games remaining for each of the Eastern Conference’s five best teams, there’s no room for a post All-Star slump in the race to make it to the Finals.
The Milwaukee Bucks look to be in a commanding position with their league-best record of 43-14, and based on their play up until this point in the campaign, there’s no reason to believe they’re set to relinquish their hold on the East before the playoffs get underway.
Still, that doesn’t mean that the Bucks won’t have four teams gunning for their spot for the remainder of the season.
