MANILA, Philippines – Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks are leading the NBA playoff picture heading into the new decade. With a league-best 30-5 record, the Eastern Conference’s Bucks come out on top against the Los Angeles Lakers, who are slowing down after a hot start. The one-two punch of LeBron James and Anthony Davis have led the Lakers to the No. For their part, runners-up Golden State Warriors are in the middle of a nightmarish season —finding themselves in the cellars. Former MVPs James Harden and Russell Westbrook have been doing work to keep the Houston Rockets well within the playoff picture sitting at fourth with a 23-11 slate.
