The Milwaukee Bucks are playing inspired basketball this season. Their 36-13 overall record is currently 1st in the Central Division standings. And with no signs of regression, it seems this team is destined for a spot in the postseason.

The Bucks, who are the only NBA team without two straight losses in this campaign, have become a dangerous squad on both ends of the floor. When they beat a team, they beat them soundly. In fact, Milwaukee has the most double-digit wins in the NBA this season, according to a report from Dean Maniatt of brewhoop.com. Surprisingly, the Bucks also have the fewest double-digit losses, which is a testament to their competitive nature.

Milwaukee is led by Giannis Antetokounmpo. “The Greek Freek,” as he's come to be known, has risen to NBA prominence in a relatively short period of time. The 24-year-old star has made 46 appearances with the team this season (all starts), averaging 26.5 points on 57.3 percent shooting from the field, 12.6 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.4 steals in 33.3 minutes per outing.

Following Tuesday's 115-105 victory over the Detroit Pistons, Antetokounmpo noted Milwaukee's ability to bounce back after a loss:

“I love that about this team,” Antetokounmpo told ESPN after racking up 21 points and 11 rebounds against the Pistons. “Every game we don't play well, the next game we try from the first minute to set the tone.”

Antetokounmpo and the Bucks will be back in action on Thursday night, as they're scheduled to face the Toronto Raptors inside Scotiabank Arena. Tip-off is set for 8:00 p.m. ET, with TNT having live broadcast coverage.
