![]() I’m high on the Cavaliers taking a step forward this season with the addition of Max Strus and the evolution of Evan Mobley, plus they have an elite defense. ODDS, Eastern Conference Champion: Boston Celtics +160, Milwaukee, Bucks +180, Philadelphia 76ers +750, Cleveland Cavaliers +1000, Miami Heat +1100 East Prediction:īoston and Milwaukee are head and shoulders better than everyone else in the conference - adding Damian Lillard (Bucks) and Kristaps Porzingis (Celtics) will do that. Western Conference Finals prediction: Suns over Nuggets Eastern Conference odds, predictions The Clippers could finish higher than eighth if they take the regular season seriously and Kawhi Leonard stays healthy, but it’s hard to bet on that. Sacramento will again bring an elite offense but their lack of defense will hold them back. The Timberwolves look like a team that has figured some things out, plus Anthony Edwards will make a leap. Memphis has won 50+ the previous two seasons, but no Ja Morant for the first 25 games and no Steven Adams all season is a blow. It will be incredibly tight in the West and injuries or just a two-week slump could decide who is in the top six and who is in the play-in.Ĭhris Paul will shore up the non-Stephen Curry minutes to lift Golden State, and the Lakers are deeper than last season and will make the top six. ![]() After those two, it’s wide open - 3-12 in the West could go in almost any order, meaning that teams such as the Mavericks, Pelicans, Thunder and Jazz could be in the mix. Even fans and analysts not high on the Suns’ title chances know they are built to win a lot of regular season games and they could land the top seed. The defending champion Nuggets and the top-heavy Suns are deep with talent and will finish 1-2 in the West.
