3. Win their division

The last time the Bucks won their division was in 2000-01 when they had the big three of Ray Allen, Glenn Robinson and Sam Cassell.

Despite having the best record in the NBA this season, it will still be a tall task to win the Central in 2018-19. The Indiana Pacers (25-12) are hot on their heels and are only one game behind them. The Pacers are just finding their groove and look to be a legit threat to the Bucks over the long haul.

The good news is the Bucks appear to be the more talented team. Milwaukee can score with the best of them and also play legitimate defense. Unfortunately, the Pacers appear to have a formula to slow down Anetokounmpo and it’s a problem the Bucks must solve if the two teams meet in the playoffs.
