NBA: Way-too-early playoff seeding predictions for 2022
By Dan Knitzer
The NBA’s Eastern Conference Play-In Tournament
7) Cleveland Cavaliers – Currently the third seed, the Cavaliers may evade the play-in, but I wouldn’t be money on them finishing with a better record than any of the teams above.
8) Boston Celtics – This mercurial team will stay mercurial.
9) Washington Wizards – Bradley Beal is still a star, if not a superstar, and unless he’s traded, this team won’t fall far below .500.
10) Charlotte Hornets – This team is fun, but probably won’t finish the season as far above 500 as it currently is.
