The 5 Teams with the Most Chances to Upset the Top 3 Current Favorites

Anything can happen in the NBA, but it would be foolish to doubt the existence of a top 3 franchises that are strong favorites to win the ring. Cleveland Cavaliers, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Boston Celtics are well above the rest in terms of gameplay and results, but there are five teams with more than enough ability to defy those predictions.

The moment of truth is approaching as the season progresses, and the real expectations regarding certain teams are becoming clear. Being a favorite is no guarantee of anything, especially when there are fierce and dangerous competitors like the ones we mention next. New York Knicks possesses an offensive power hard to stop, and if they can improve defensively, they will be contenders to shake things up in the East.

It is also impossible to overlook Milwaukee Bucks, after showing the level they can reach when everything clicks and there is extra motivation. Although their performance has declined after the NBA Cup, Antetokounmpo is a born winner and can lead his team to great heights of success.

Turning to the Western Conference, we see how Dallas Mavericks have all the necessary attributes to fight for glory, with Doncic's injury being the only limiting factor at the moment. Additionally, it cannot be ignored that LeBron James' intangibles should make Los Angeles Lakers a possible major surprise. Finally, Denver Nuggets maintain the roster that reached glory, and Nikola Jokic is capable of anything, so they are expected to be a significant threat to anyone in the postseason.
