Thunder Host Bucks on Sunday
The Oklahoma City Thunder play host to the Milwaukee Bucks at Chesapeake Energy Arena on Sunday.

The Bucks (35-12) come into this matchup winning six-straight and 13 of their last 15 games in total. Many people wondered if their fantastic start was a mirage but it's clear that this team is here to stay with their recent form. The statistics with this club are downright incredible, with Milwaukee ranking either first or second in scoring, rebounding and defensive efficiency. That's obviously impressive and much of it has to be attributed to Giannis Antetokounmpo. The MVP candidate is currently averaging 26.6 points, 12.6 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocks per game, as he's turned into one of the most dynamic players in the league.

The Thunder (30-18) come into this matchup winning three-straight, as that snapped a stretch in which they lost five of their previous six games. What was really bizarre about that losing streak was the teams that they lost to, with the Atlanta Hawks, Washington Wizards, Los Angeles Laker and Minnesota Timberwolves all beating them in that stretch. That's a bizarre run of games and one has to believe that it was just a blip on the radar for an otherwise superb team. What's scary about this club is the fact that they perform on both ends of the floor, as they currently rank top-five in both points scored and defensive efficiency. That's obviously a recipe for success and it makes this Thunder team one of the most dangerous in the NBA.

These teams have traded off wins and losses across their last five games, with the road team prevailing in three of those. Prior to that, the Thunder won five of their previous six games over the Bucks.
