The odds of a new NBA championship-winning franchise in 2025

The level of competitiveness and equality in the current NBA is very evident, which makes it conceivable that one of the ten franchises that still do not have a championship in their trophy cabinets could break molds this season and clinch a ring that would be historic for the entire organization.

One-third of chances. That is the percentage we might witness a NBA franchise securing their first ring in the upcoming season. This competition is one of the most democratic and open in the world of sports, yet there are still teams fervently pursuing their first championship. The best positioned to achieve it could be the Minnesota Timberwolves, but Phoenix Suns cannot be ruled out if their Big 3 performs as envisioned.

On a secondary level, we find the Los Angeles Clippers, whose renovation of venue, logo, and other marketing matters predicts a high-level performance and a shot at glory. New Orleans Pelicans also hold high hopes of breaking this streak in the short term, but maybe not yet in 2025. Indiana Pacers and Orlando Magic have also shown a clear upward trend, although it seems premature to consider them as contenders.

A separate mention goes to Memphis Grizzlies, a team that wasted their last season but has the potential to enter the fight for it all. The big question is whether Ja Morant will return as a disciplined player and provide the team with the star they need. Charlotte Hornets and Utah Jazz are still far from great aspirations, while Brooklyn Nets will embark on a rebuilding process with a long-term view.
