This season, Durant is averaging 30.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.6 blocks per game on a career-best 67.2% true shooting. Durant is firmly in the MVP race again as he carries Brooklyn up the standings.
In its first seven games before the coaching change, Brooklyn was giving up 120.3 points per game to opponents. Since then, it has dropped that to 109.0 points per game as it is playing like a real contender on both ends of the floor.
On the other side, the Bucks have had one of the best defenses this season, anchored by Brook Lopez in the paint, Jrue Holiday on the perimeter and Antetokounmpo roaming around cleaning up everything leading to them being the best team in the league through roughly a third of the season.
