Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics won the Atlantic Division last year, winning the NBA championship on top of that. This year, the pressure of having to perform in the playoffs is no longer a factor for the Celtics, which should mean them playing free and easy in the regular season. Boston is already building a nice lead in the Atlantic Division and they should repeat as division champions so long as they avoid becoming complacent as this season rolls on.
New York Knicks
The New York Knicks are finally putting things together, finishing second in the Atlantic last season and second in the Eastern Conference as a whole. The Knicks have looked solid early this season, as their excellent offense has outweighed their often-suspect defense. We will see if the Knicks can stay within striking distance of the Celtics, but the Knicks will be in the playoffs no matter what happens this year.
Philadelphia 76ers
Philadelphia finished third in the NBA Atlantic Division last season. Joel Embiid is clearly one of the best players in the NBA. But his health is far from a given, as Embiid and the newly-acquired Paul George have already missed significant time this season. If the Sixers can’t stay consistently healthy, they are in danger of missing the playoffs entirely, or at least ending up with a seed that would make it nearly impossible to win the Eastern Conference.
Brooklyn Nets
It was a disaster of a season for the Brooklyn Nets last season, as they finished fourth in the Atlantic. They are rebuilding at this point, with young talent like Cam Thomas and Nic Claxton being among their top contributors. Brooklyn could sneak into one of the last Eastern Conference playoff spots this year, but there isn’t much of a future for this team as currently constructed.
Toronto Raptors
The Toronto Raptors finished in last place in the Atlantic Division last season. They traded away OG Anunoby and Pascal Siakam last year, all but sealing their fate as one of the worst teams in the NBA. They have struggled for the most part this season as well, as the Raptors are searching for direction as a franchise now that their championship window has closed.
