4. Philadelphia 76ers

The Philadelphia 76ers will bolster one of the league’s most versatile defensive lineups with the additions of Al Horford and Josh Richardson. With Joel Embiid anchoring the offense and defense, the Sixers have enormous expectations this year after a heartbreaking Game 7 loss to eventual NBA champs Toronto Raptors.

With Embiid and Ben Simmons you have one of the best young duos in the league and they are only getting better. Embiid will continue being a monster down low and his antics are always worth tuning in for.

As far as Simmons, if the gym videos of him shooting mean anything, this could finally be the year we see the former No.1 pick take jumpers and that for sure is something everyone has an itch to see.

3. Golden State Warriors

The Golden State Warriors have advanced to the NBA Finals the previous five years and the reasons for that are star power and the unselfishness they play with on offense. That’s also the reason that they’ve been one of the most-watched teams in that span.

Even with the loss of Kevin Durant, the Warriors still have stars that can get it done. The motion offense the Warriors run is just a joy to watch as a basketball fan. The way Steph and Klay Thompson run off screens and get each other open is fascinating and reminds everyone that this is a team game.

Although without Klay for much of the year, D’Angelo Russell is more than good enough to fill that void. The possibility of Curry returning to his 2016 MVP form is always a reason to tune in.
