The Bucks improved to 8-9 in their first 17 games, which has them as the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference.

They are in the middle of a four-game winning streak (and 7-3 in 10 games at home).

Following the Hornets, the Bucks will play their next game on Tuesday when they visit the Heat in Miami.

While the Bucks have had an up-and-down start to the season, they are one of the most talented teams in the NBA led by Antetokounmpo (and Damian Lillard).

If they can stay healthy, there is no question the Bucks will be a team that is seen as a contender in the Eastern Conference.

Last year, the Bucks dealt with injuries and lost in the first round of the NBA playoffs.

Another dominant double-double from Giannis.
