The 5 teams that can upset all the predictions in the NBA
We review which teams are on the rise and could pose a challenge to the favorites in a potential play-in or first round of playoffs.
An NBA season is very long and can have significant ups and downs and changing trends. Currently, several teams seem to have already acquired a specific role as potential giant-killers, being talent-packed squads that, on a day of inspiration, are capable of beating anyone. Let's review the most important ones.
The concept of a breakout team will be highly contested this season in the NBA. Proof of this is how the play-in positions in both the Western Conference and the Eastern Conference are filled with teams with competitive expectations and more than enough arguments to see them as significant opponents to the favorites. The parity is enormous, and there is a notable demand for the top six spots in each Conference, making those coming from behind extremely dangerous teams.
The most evident proof of this is the Dallas Mavericks. After a rough start to the season, the Texans have found the best version of Flagg, a Nemhardt who is astonishing, and the magic of an Anthony Davis who stands out as a dominant force in the paint when he finds some consistency. They have already achieved prestigious victories and are a clear threat to the best teams. Similar circumstances are seen with the Memphis Grizzlies, who seem to have moved past Morant and found the right rhythm within their squad.
Regarding the Eastern Conference, both the Atlanta Hawks and the Chicago Bulls are teams that ensure significant scoring flow and are capable of aiming for a brighter outcome than expected. One cannot overlook the case of the Miami Heat either, whose distinctive playing style makes them very dangerous and capable of upsetting anyone. In short, remarkable alternatives to the established power by these teams.
