In Week 13 of the NBA season two Milwaukee Bucks had phenomenal weeks and guaranteed themselves a spot in the Bucks Player of the Week Rankings. The third spot was up for grabs between three different players. Let’s see who came out on top!

The Milwaukee Bucks started off week 13 strong but fell flat on the last two days of the week to end with a losing record. Milwaukee beat the Miami Heat on Tuesday and subsequently lost to the Houston Rockets on Friday and the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday.

When trying to look for a positive, the Bucks beat their only Eastern Conference opponent this week. However, they need as many wins as they can and against a banged up Rockets team missing Dwight Howard, and a poorly performing Pelicans team, the Bucks had an opportunity to win another game or two.

There were two Milwaukee Bucks who performed extremely well this week and are locked in at the number one and two spots of the rankings this week. Three other Bucks competed hard for the third and final spot. Of the three Michael Carter-Williams had the most rebounds and steals and tied for the most assists. Giannis Antetokounmpo had the most points and tied for the most blocks. Jabari Parker tied for the most assists and blocks and had the fewest turnovers.

It was very difficult picking the third spot in the rankings. In the next section I will explain my logic on how I did that.

Let’s get to it!
