Under normal circumstances, the Milwaukee Bucks would have had homecourt through the playoffs. Now top seeds are proposing alternative advantages.
With 65 games played before the coronavirus pandemic brought the NBA season skidding to a halt back in March, the Milwaukee Bucks were one of the NBA’s most dominant home teams, and on track to ensuring they would be able to use that to their advantage moving forward.
A 6.5 game lead over the second placed Toronto Raptors meant that the Bucks were within touching distance of wrapping up homecourt advantage through the East, while two fewer losses and four more wins than the Lakers also left the Bucks in a strong position to claim homecourt all the way through the postseason.
