A season after their first NBA Finals appearance since 1993, the Phoenix Suns (42-10) are making a push to get back there this season. Led by Devin Booker, seven Suns players are averaging at least 10 points per game this season.
Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors (40-13) have allowed the second-fewest points per game this season (102.7). It will be interesting to see how they look when Klay Thompson gets more games under his belt and James Wiseman returns.
Behind the play of superstar point guard Ja Morant, the Memphis Grizzlies (37-18) are one of the surprising teams in the NBA this season. Morant (26.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 6.9 assists) has thrust his name into MVP conversations.
Despite experiencing a bit of a championship hangover, the Milwaukee Bucks (34-21) seem poised to make another run at a title. As is the case with every team, health will be the most important factor in that endeavor.
Despite having players in and out of the lineup, the Miami Heat (30-17) have the best record in the East. The Heat are seeking a third straight playoff appearance and second Finals appearance in the last three seasons.
