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 this season, as their excellent offense has outweighed their often-suspect defense. New York has struggled when facing the Celtics, though, which has allowed Boston to take the lead in the standings over them in this division. That is not expected to change as the season wears on.
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. Not only are the Sixers out of the race for the division title this year, they are also in danger of missing out on the postseason as a whole unless they can get hot late in the regular season.
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. They are not on the board to win the Atlantic Division this season.
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. Signing Brandon Ingram after trading for him could help them in the long run, but this season is not going to end well for them.
