NBA Division Winners
The preseason is in full swing, so it’s the perfect time for us to take a look at every division and go over which teams will finish with the best record in their respective division, so without further ado, let’s jump right into it!
Pacific Division: LA Clippers (+185)
Let’s face it, the Pacific Division is probably the hardest to predict this season. There are three main contenders, Golden State, the Clippers and Phoenix, plus the Los Angeles Lakers, who still have LeBron James on their roster. Both the Warriors and Suns have struggled in the offseason, so we can expect someone else to come in and take the crown in this division.
Northwest Division: Denver Nuggets (-140)
Two-time MVP Nikola Jokic is finally getting much needed help this season as Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. finally return from long lay-offs due to injury. This means the Nuggets are the favorites to win their division, but also among the top candidates to make it all the way this season.
Southwest Division: Dallas Mavericks (+125)
Is it time for Luka Doncic to finally have a breakout season? Entering his 5th year with the Mavs, big things are expected from Luka as many people are tipping him for MVP honors. In order for that to happen, his team needs to rack up some wins and after finishing last year with a great record, Doncic is as motivated as ever.
Atlantic Division: Brooklyn Nets (+200)
Along with the Pacific Division, many analysts have struggled to predict the outcome of the Atlantic Division, but in the end, it’s not crazy to give the edge to the Brooklyn Nets. People forget just how good the Nets were before Kevin Durant went down with his injury. Also, the fact that his team got swept in the playoffs by the eventual finalists Boston Celtics only adds fuel to the fire.
Central Division: Milwaukee Bucks (-325)
The biggest offseason move in this division was made by the Cleveland Cavaliers who traded for Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell, but even with him on the team, it’s hard to look past the Milwaukee Bucks for the Central Division.
Southeast Division: Miami Heat (-165)
The Miami Heat are looking to reign the Southeast Division, simply because they only have one threat and that is the Atlanta Hawks. Miami finished last season as the 4th best defense holding opponents to just 44.7% shooting from the field and 33.9% from three, if they can sustain that they will have no issues finishing with home court advantage at the end of the regular season.
