Which NBA teams can be this year’s 2013-14 Phoenix Suns?

Last season, the Phoenix Suns came out of nowhere to win 48 games and nearly captured a playoff spot in the dominant Western Conference. No one saw it coming.

That happens every season!

Honestly, I thought the Suns would be fun to watch last season, but there was no way Phoenix was winning 48 games, not in the West.

Well, it happened, and the Suns were a win away from the playoffs thanks to some good luck and injuries in Denver and New Orleans and some overall bad basketball in Minnesota.

That’s going to happen this season, too. Injuries will derail one team’s season and open the door for another team to sneak into the playoff picture.

Who are those teams going to be? I’ve put together the five teams most likely to embrace their inner-2014 Phoenix Suns and surprise everyone this season.

Let’s get to it! Here are you five surprise teams of the 2014-15 season:
