Milwaukee Bucks Daily: Battle of MVP candidates set to go down Wednesday night
The latest Milwaukee Bucks Daily is here as the Bucks are preparing to take on the Houston Rockets Wednesday, a battle that will feature two of the most talked about MVP candidates this season.
In today’s edition of Milwaukee Bucks Daily, the Bucks await their highly anticipated duel with the surging Houston Rockets, third-year big man Thon Maker details his one-on-one practice battles with superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo and much more.
The nature of determining the pecking order of MVP candidates is a topic that can certainly be rehashed to the point of exhaustion over the course of an NBA season, but the current form of both Antetokounmpo and Harden have seemingly separated the two from the rest of the pack at this point in the campaign.
