1. Golden State Warriors

The defending champion Golden State Warriors are heading into the season with some serious momentum. They won a championship last season and I’m not even sure we saw the best version of themselves at all during their Finals run.

With a healthy roster and all hands on deck to start this season, Golden State should absolutely be the favorite to win the 2023 NBA Championship. And I believe we’ll see why during the regular season.

Despite all the noise that is currently surrounding the Warriors, I believe that Golden State has one of the most impressive rosters – from top to bottom – in the league. And it is historically difficult for teams to repeat as champions in the NBA. But I believe the Warriors will have a great chance to win another championship this season.

That will start will finishing as the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference.
