Toronto Raptors
Storyline: The Raptors will win the Atlantic Division for the second straight season.
I’ve had my reservations of the Raptors, mostly due to their inactivity during the NBA’s offseason, but if the Knicks don’t make any moves in-season I don’t believe they’ll have enough to overtake the Raptors.
If nothing else, the Raptors are going to win the Atlantic division by default. The Raptors are decent, probably good. But they’re not division winner good.
Fortunately, they’re in one of the NBA’s weakest divisions.
