I’m surprised to see the kings so low on some of these… I would bet large sums of money that the bottom two teams are OKC and Houston. Both teams are trying to lose. Kings are highly motivated to push for the play in… as are Minny and Nola.
 
Glad that were doing this again. My predictions are as follows:
1.Jazz
2.Suns
3.Nuggets
4.Mavericks
5.Clippers
6.Warriors
7.Blazers
8.Lakers
9.Grizzlies
10. Timberwolves
11.Kings
12.Spurs
13.Pelicans
14.Thunder
15.Rockets
 
First time trying this:

10 NOLA

12 OKC
13 HOU
14 SAN
15 SAC

Everyone is having Phoenix super high, I'm betting they won't be as healthy they were last year. LAC is hard to know how much load management will be there.
I wish I could place LAL lower, like out of the playoff picture, but the league would never allow it. SAC goes full tank for Chet Holmgren.

Jazz will be top seed however no one will take them seriously since they're pretenders every year which will obviously show in the playoffs again. They had their shot last year. This year the warriors are back in the mix.

Maybe I'm not giving LAC enough credit.
 
I will revisit mine and update it after the all-star break.
