5 reasons the Milwaukee Bucks are legitimate title contenders

5. Balanced attack

One of the things the Bucks have going in their favor is they have multiple players who can put the ball in the basket. For example, in their 124-86 win over the Heat on Tuesday night, Milwaukee had seven players in double figures, including all five starters.

What was even more impressive is the fact that not one the Bucks’ players scored more than 17 points in that contest. But if you’re thinking this was just a one-game outlier, you’d be mistaken.

In fact, there are six players on the roster who are averaging double figures this season. The list includes Giannis Antetokounmpo (26.4 PPG), Khris Middleton (17.5 PPG), Malcom Brogdon (15.5 PPG), Eric Bledsoe (15.3 PPG) and Brook Lopez (12.1 PPG).

Simply put, a championship-caliber ball club must have more than one player who can impact a game on any given night, and considering that each of these players has posted multiple 20-point games this season, the Bucks certainly check the box in that regard.
