NBA: Bucks poised to trample Eastern Conference as season resumes

At least one thing, however, is not in doubt - the Milwaukee Bucks own the Eastern Conference. One of the league's top scorers and rebounders, forward Giannis Antetokounmpo has waged an MVP campaign with only one clear rival - Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James - headlining a Bucks roster that entered the COVID-19 hiatus with a 53-12 record, atop the conference standings. The 25-year-old took a hard fall during a March matchup against the Lakers, but what was feared to be a major knee injury proved only a minor joint-capsule strain.
