After a rough early half of January, where they lost six of eight, the Bucks seem to have bounced back by winning eight of their next 10.
Their recent stretch has helped them remain in the top tier of the East. As of Thursday morning, they are second in the East, just half a game behind the Miami Heat.
They are currently on a four-game Western Conference road trip, having won against the Trail Blazers, Clippers and Lakers. They beat these three teams by a combined margin of 68 points.
