Share

Before the global pandemic put the NBA season on ice back in March, there was a healthy debate as to who was the league’s best team. 

The Milwaukee Bucks (53-12) have the best record but there are legitimate concerns about their roster and whether they can continue to be the class of the NBA during the season’s reboot, which begins July 30.

And with that, here are the Power Rankings for the 22 teams that’ll resume play at the end of the month.
