This week in the NBA: The Raptors leading the way

Odds and preview of the NBA action

The second week of the NBA season has come and gone. The Western Conference has familiar look at the top but over in the East, the Milwaukee Bucks and Toronto Raptors have flown out the traps.

We take a look over all the action from the hardwood and some of the key talking points from the last week…

Winners

Toronto Raptors

A 6-0 record cannot be sniffed at, even the Golden State Warriors can’t boast that.

The Raptors swept aside the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics in their first two games.

Kawhi Leonard has top-scored with 26.6 points per game. His team-mate Kyle Lowry has really turned up as well.

Milwaukee Bucks

The only other side with a 100% record is the Bucks. This start has been in complete contrast to the Bucks we saw last season who ranked 25th in 3-point attempt rate.

The ‘Greek Freak’ otherwise known as Giannis Antetokounmpo is a leading light.

Up next? It’s the Raptors. Something will have to give.

Losers

Cleveland Cavaliers

The loss of LeBron James has hit them hard. The 2016 play-off winners hold a 0-6 record.

They’ve just fired their coach Tyronn Lue and now star man Kevin Love could miss a month with a toe injury.
