Bucks’ defense is amazing
The Bucks have done a brilliant job on the defensive end and in a season where scoring has gone on past 120+ repeatedly, they are yet to allow 110 points in a game. The Bucks have done an amazing job of beating teams that have a distinct type of teams, and they have proven that they are in for a big run. Giannis Antetokounmpo has once again began in his MVP ways and has the led the team in points and rebounds in each game. But there is more to this team than Giannis.
it is stunning that Brook Lopez at 34 years old continues to be one of the best middle defenders and although he is struggling offensively, his defense is a weapon big enough to make him a big-time contributor. Jrue Holiday is one of the best perimeter defenders and the defensive combinations are amazing with Giannis, Brook, and Grayson, who can seal the outside and close in the paint. The bench looks weak without Joe Ingles and the long-time Buck Pat Connaughton, whereas missing Khris Middelton has hurt the team balance.
The Hawks have lived up to the hype
The Hawks have begun on a promising note. They have put up 117 or more in three of the five games while the defense looks a bit improved from last season. They hauled in DeJounte Murray during the offseason and he has bolstered the inside production further as he is one of the best driving guards in the league. And when you pair him up with a sharpshooting guard like Trae Young leading the shooting effort while also being an amazing playmaker.
John Collins and DeAndre Hunter make for a strong driving Forward duo whereas Clint Capela’s receding production has been covered up by the bench production of Onyeka Okongwu, who is a player in a similar style. The Hawks defense has been improved after the addition of Murray and the team looks much more athletic. The bench doesn’t look the most threatening without Bogdan Bogdanovic but once he returns the second unit of Aaron, Bogdan, Onyeka, Justin, and Jalen can be a tough one to deal with.

Trae Young(ATL) Points: 36 Rebounds: 02 Assists: 12 Guard Trae has been in a great groove and despite having some off-nights from three, his overall scoring and assists count has been admirable. He can be in 25+ points, 8-11 assists, and 1-3 steals range. The Guard can be chosen as a Star/Pro Player in the Dream 11 NBA Fantasy scenario.
Giannis Antetokounmpo(MIL) Points: 30 Rebounds: 14 Assists: 09 Blocks: 01 Steals: 01 Giannis continues to pulverize offenses and defenses at an electric rate and his mere presence strikes fear in the opponents. I believe the rim-racking Forward will be in 25+ points, 10-16 rebounds, 5-8 assists and 1-3 blocks range here.
DeJounte Murray(ATL) Points: 26 Rebounds: 04 Assists: 05 Murray has given the Hawks attack a fresh dimension and they are reaping rewards through him. He has been on song lately and I expect him to be in 19-26 points, 4-7 assists, and 4-7 rebounds range.
Jrue Holiday(MIL) Points: 16 Rebounds: 05 Assists: 06 Steals: 02 Blocks: 01 Guard Jrue has been a bit off from the field but he makes up for it through incredible defense and wonderful ball-handling skills. I believe he will be in 14-19 points, 6-9 assists, 4-6 rebounds, and 1-3 steals range.
John Collins(ATL) Points: 04 Rebounds: 10 Assists: 01 Blocks: 03 Steals: 01 Collins’ impact has been more than on the offensive and his rebounding and defense have been a big difference-maker. I believe he will be in 12-18 points, 8-12 rebounds, and 1-4 blocks range.
Bobby Portis(MIL) Points: 12 Rebounds: 12 Assists: 01 Portis provides great depth to the bench and his ability to score and rebound are both a blessing. I believe he will be in 10-16 points and 8-12 rebounds range here.
PG: A Holiday, T Young(PP) SG: G Allen, G Hill SF: D Hunter PF: B Portis, G Antetokounmpo(SP) C: C Capela
