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. But they will need to avoid complacency to make sure that they hold off the Knicks and Sixers in the race to become Atlantic Division champions once again.
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 traded away Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo in the offseason to bring in Karl-Anthony Towns. It will be fascinating to see how that works out for them this year and if they move closer to a championship or farther away.
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 missed some significant time and was not right for the playoffs. Bringing in Paul George this season will be an interesting maneuver for the Sixers, who will look to prove that they are here to stay in the Eastern Conference title race.
Brooklyn Nets
It was a disaster of a season for the Brooklyn Nets last season, as they finished fourth in the Atlantic. They have traded away Mikal Bridges going into this season, which could make things even worse for the Nets this year. This team’s focus is clearly on trying to rebuild through future drafts. The question will be how bad things get for the Nets before they start to turn around.
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 will be expected to struggle again this year, though watching RJ Barrett try to carry a team as its top star will be interesting even if it doesn’t mean a lot of winning basketball.
