Cleveland Cavaliers
It was an impressive year for the Cleveland Cavaliers last season, as they made a huge leap in the Eastern Conference. They finished fourth in the East and made it to the second round of the playoffs, where they lost to the eventual champion Boston Celtics. Cleveland has been even better this season, crushing their competition for the most part and building a commanding lead in the Central Division, where they are now huge favorites.
Milwaukee Bucks
The Milwaukee Bucks were the favorites to win the Central Division in the NBA going into this season. Milwaukee got off to a rough start to this season which, combined with the hot start of the Cavs, has put the Bucks way behind Cleveland in the standings. There is still time for the Cavs to be caught, but Milwaukee has a lot of work to do if they want to win this division.
Indiana Pacers
Last year was a fun year for the Indiana Pacers. They made the final of the first-ever NBA In-Season Tournament, while Tyrese Haliburton has emerged as a star in this league. They followed that up by making it to the Eastern Conference Finals, where they were also knocked out by the Celtics. This year, the Pacers have looked nothing like the team that had all that success last season, as they are struggling to find their footing to this point in the year.
Chicago Bulls
The Chicago Bulls ran it back last season with the trio of Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, and Nikola Vucevic. That did not yield the results they had hoped for, as Chicago was cut down in the play-in tournament. This year, DeRozan is gone, which should mean more on the plate of LaVine from a scoring standpoint. Chicago again looks like a fringe play-in team this season, which will not put them in any sort of serious contention to win the Central.
Detroit Pistons
The Detroit Pistons’ goal this season is going to be to simply take a stride or two in the right direction. The Pistons finished last season with 14 wins, the fewest in the league. Detroit is already well on their way to exceeding that number, as they have been respectable, even if the Pistons do not appear to have the capability of keeping up with teams like the Cavs and Bucks in the standings.
