Antetokounmpo, the reigning MVP, is having another stellar season. The Greek Freak is averaging 30.8 points, 13.4 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game while shooting 56.5 percent from the field, 30.4 percent from beyond the arc and 58.4 percent from the free-throw line.
The Bucks are 18-3 on the season. They have the best record in the Eastern Conference and once again look primed to go on a deep postseason run. Some believe the Bucks will win the East this season now that Kawhi Leonard is out West playing on the Los Angeles Clippers. Giannis and the Bucks lost to Kawhi and the Toronto Raptors in the 2019 Eastern Conference Finals in six games.
For the Mavs, Doncic is playing like an MVP despite being only 20-years-old. He's putting up 30.6 points, 9.9 rebounds and 9.6 assists, all while shooting 48.3 percent from the floor, 33.0 percent from the 3-point line and 82.7 percent from the charity stripe.
Doncic has 14 double-doubles and seven triple-doubles on the season. He is well on his way to making his first All-Star game. The Mavs are 13-6 and appear to be headed back to the postseason after missing it the past three seasons.
