Sports is a cruel place. One day someone could be at the top, the next day they could be 10th in the Western Conference. We never know how certain events are really gonna affect someone and how they might cause a team from go to the worst to the best or vice versa. In the case of the NBA, teams are competing to get destroyed by Golden State in the finals, but here are some predictions to spice up the NBA.
The Lakers will make the playoffs but will be bounced in the first round
Lebron James came to the Lakers for 2 reasons, to win a championship and to build his brand. While the latter is in full swing, the former might have to wait for another year. The Lakers are clearly still learning and during the stretch that Lebron missed, they showed their weakness. However, they will rebound and make the playoffs but their run will be short as they are just too raw in their potential.
The 76ers will make the finals
The 76ers are a very strange team. Despite already boasting a solid lineup, the team chose to trade for Tobias Harris a very good role player and borderline all-star. I predict this trade will put them over the top of the east and will propel them to the NBA finals, only to be crushed by the legendary 5 all star line up of Golden State. However the future is bright for the 76ers. #trusttheprocess.
Giannis will win MVP

There has not been a more dominant player in the NBA this year than Giannis Antetokounmmpo. Yes we all know about James Harden and his legendary run right now but Giannis has been the most efficient and overall best player. He is continually a stud on defense and his increasing speed and confidence have pushed him to the top of the MVP discussion. Most of all, the Bucks are winning games.
Nikola Jokic will be a 1st team all pro
Nikola Jokic has proved himself to be the best passing center and the overall best center in the game this year. The big man continually puts up big stats and helps the nuggets win games as they are the 2nd best in the WESTERN CONFERENCE. That is no easy task as the West continues to grow but Jokic has put his team on his back and has carried them. He deserves more recognition.
