NBA Power Rankings: Utah Jazz leap into the top-5

The Bucks have won three of their last four games, and if they finish out the season strong, could wind up as high as the No. 3 seed. Going down to Orlando and losing to the Magic didn’t help them in that regards, and there are times when their offense is downright ugly to watch. But Giannis is still showing that he’s capable of leading a team to the playoffs no matter the surrounding cast. He’s been a terror all season, and should be an All-Star and MVP candidate for years to come. If the Bucks can improve their record so they don’t have to send their first round pick to the Suns this year (17-30 protected), that would be ideal — plus, it gives them an earlier shot at the Cavaliers, who they face Monday. Make no mistake though, this is a team that doesn’t have an answer for this season, especially after they passed on finding an upgrade at center at the trade deadline.
