1. Brooklyn Nets

The Nets made extensive trades and signings throughout the 2020-21 season that had jaws to the floor, memes created and the superteam debate raging stronger than it ever had before. But the Nets were injury ridden, they couldn’t keep up when it counted. That being said, the Eastern Conference may be more likely to bring home a championship than their Western counterparts next season.

The Nets are already the betting favorites for next season, mainly because they really have everything they need — they just need to get healthy, stay healthy and follow through with that energy the entire season.
