Important Rankings Notes

Playoff Adjustments vs. Regular Season

A few years ago, we began making a few adjustments to NBA team ratings for the playoffs. The ratings in the table above represent our regular-season predictive ratings. These ratings determine win odds for regular-season games, and we use them to project outcomes like regular-season win totals and division-winner odds

Team Ratings

Team ratings are expressed as points better (positive rating) or worse (negative rating) than a “perfectly average” NBA team when playing on a neutral court

Last Year Rating

Last Year Rating means each team’s final predictive rating from the 2022-23 season, and Change represents the difference between Last Year Rating and this year’s preseason rating

Interpreting the Changes

Positive “Change” values mean a team is expected to improve its performance level over last year; negative values mean expected declines

The final two columns show info about the win total projections of the component systems that we blended in order to create our ratings

NBA Preseason Rankings Highlights

Celtics and Bucks on Top, Again

The Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks were the top two teams in our preseason rankings last year, and are also in the same spot this year. Boston was the favorite in the NBA playoffs a year ago, until they were upset by Miami in the Eastern Conference Finals. Milwaukee battled a lot of injuries, and were knocked out earlier. But they also added Damian Lillard this year and are again one of the favorites

The defending champion Denver Nuggets are third, and have a rating entering this year very similar to their end-of-season rating from a year ago. This is a reminder that even though the Nuggets won the title, they weren’t the clearly best team a year ago, and were in fact the third-highest rated team entering the postseason (though the top team in the West)

Large Middle Class

Last year, only six teams were projected with a power rating between +2. 0 and -2. 0, as we projected a large group of “have’s” and “have-nots. ” But things have shifted pretty quickly. This year, half the league has a rating between +2. 0 and -2. 0, meaning we view half the league as being within two points of an average team at the outset

The No. 9 Los Angeles Clippers, for example, are closer in power rating to the No. 23 Utah Jazz than to the No. 3 Denver Nuggets

Stronger and Deeper Western Conference

The top two teams, and four of the top six, are from the Eastern Conference. But nine of our top 13 teams are from the Western Conference. Oklahoma City is the ninth-highest rated team in the West, but are rated just ahead of the New York Knicks, who would be the fifth-highest rated team in the East. So the battle for the last spots in the West could be quite competitive, and between potentially some of the top teams

Notable Player Movement

Here’s a full summary of player movement for the 2023-24 season. A few notable moves this offseason include

  • Damian Lillard from Portland to Milwaukee
  • Bradley Beal from Washington to Phoenix
  • Chris Paul from Phoenix (via Washington) to Golden State
  • Jrue Holiday from Milwaukee (via Portland) to Boston
  • Fred VanVleet from Toronto to Houston
  • Kristaps Porzingis from Washington to Boston
  • John Collins from Atlanta to Utah
  • Robert Williams from Boston to Portland
  • Jordan Poole from Golden State to Washington
  • Marcus Smart from Boston to Memphis
  • DeAndre Ayton from Phoenix to Portland

Western Conference Predictions

Even before the season starts, the numbers here may differ slightly from our NBA projected standings page. That isn’t us adjusting numbers behind the scenes; it’s just the result of random variance in our season simulations, which re-run daily, even in the preseason

Once the 2023-24 NBA season begins, our projected standings page will update every day based on the previous day’s results

Most Likely Division Winners 

Northwest. Denver (56%)

Southwest.  Memphis (38%)

Pacific.  Phoenix (34%)

Denver is just ahead of Phoenix in win total projections, though Denver has the higher chances of winning its division thanks to a projected easier set of opponents. In fact, four of the top five Western Conference teams by projected win total are in the Pacific Division

Western Conference Outlook

The Western Conference has a large group of teams that have legitimate playoff aspirations, and then a small group who are seen as building for the future

Eleven different teams have playoff odds over 50% entering the season. Five different teams are projected for between 43. 4 and 43. 9 wins, showing how narrow the cut line could be between getting into the playoffs without having to participate in the play-in tournament, or missing out on it altogether

Denver and Phoenix are the clear title favorites out of the West, while Golden State and the Los Angeles Lakers also have title aspirations

Most Likely NBA Champion. Denver Nuggets

Denver didn’t make many changes from last year’s title squad. But after several years of perennial playoff appearances and not quite breaking through, they finally did so. As long as Nikola Jokic is healthy and in his prime, they should be in contention

Denver is just ahead of Phoenix, who has made some significant changes and will now be built around Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal, and Devin Booker

The Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers also have legitimate title aspirations, though the Lakers will need Anthony Davis to stay healthier to realize them

Most Likely Division Winners 

Central.  Milwaukee (55%)

Southeast.  Miami (44%)

Atlantic. Boston (57%)

Milwaukee made a major move by acquiring Damian Lillard, a move that could have shifted the Eastern odds, as Miami was also interested in acquiring the star guard

Meanwhile, Jrue Holiday was part of that trade, and the most integral piece to leave Milwaukee, but was immediately traded to Boston, giving them a different look at point guard with Marcus Smart gone

Eastern Conference Outlook

Boston and Milwaukee look like the clear class of the East, with Miami lurking as well, and Cleveland and Donovan Mitchell in the mix. Philadelphia has some question marks with the James Harden situation, and after that it’s pretty wide open

In a stark contrast to the West, we do not project the eighth-best team in the East to be above . 500, or even have over 38. 0 wins. Obviously, as the season plays out, some teams will perform better than expected and others will be worse, and so some team is likely to emerge as a stronger contender

But as of the preseason, we project five teams for between 35. 7 and 37. 7 wins, all competing for the final playoff spots

Most Likely NBA Champion. Boston Celtics

We have Boston narrowly ahead of Milwaukee in regular season wins as well as slightly higher in title odds. But they are very close with Milwaukee, and the two are the overall favorites to win the NBA title based on the moves they have made

Damian Lillard gives Giannis Antetokounmpo a true second star to play with. Jrue Holiday, meanwhile, gives Boston the type of guard facilitator who can help unlock a great 1-2-3 punch with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown

2023-24 NBA Playoff Predictions

These are our projections for the playoff odds and advancement odds in both conferences. The “Reach Playoffs” column shows the percent of our season simulations in which each team reached the first round of the NBA playoffs (Seeds 1 to 8). If a team qualifies in the No. 7 to No. 10 spot but loses the play-in tournament, that’s counted as missing the playoffs here

However, we do list 10 teams for each conference, so you can see which teams we think will most likely be a part of the play-in tournament

2023 In-Season Tournament Projections

For 2023, the NBA is introducing an In-Season Tournament to be played in November and early December. The teams in each conference have been divided into three different groups of five teams. Regular season games scheduled for Tuesdays and Fridays in November will also count toward the tournament group standings

The first-place team from each group, plus the highest-ranked second-place finisher in each conference, will advance to the knockout rounds. The quarterfinals will be hosted by the higher-seeded teams within each conference after group play, on December 4th and 5th. The semifinals and finals will take place in Las Vegas, on December 7th and 9th

Here are our projections for each group. We list average projected wins (out of 4 games) in the group, the odds of going 4-0 in the group, and the overall estimated odds of finishing in 1st place in the group

How We Make NBA Projections

Our projections are based on our 2023-24 NBA preseason ratings. We use those ratings to simulate the full 2023-24 NBA season, including the playoffs, thousands of times

Starting three years ago, we also introduced a few adjustments to NBA team ratings for the playoffs to better account for player/minute distributions. Teams typically shorten their rotations and give more minutes to their top players in the postseason. Our projections now do a better job of adjusting for that effect

We average the individual team outcomes in the thousands of season simulations that we run. Those averages become our official preseason projections

Injuries and Other Roster Changes

As they do every season, injuries and trades will derail at least a few of our preseason forecasts. That’s an inevitable risk of trying to predict the distant future. However, we do incorporate variance into our season simulations to help account for those possibilities

Projections Represent Averages

The projections are the average results from thousands of simulations. In any individual simulation (or in the real season), some teams will do significantly better or worse than our average projection. But we don’t know which teams those will be.  Because of this dynamic, the preseason projections generally look a little conservative at the extreme ends.  

Play-In Tournament Note

These projections include the updated playoff format that began three years ago. Teams that finish seventh through 10th in each conference battle for the final two playoff spots in a play-in tournament

The playoff odds listed in various places in this article do not count making the play-in tournament but missing out on a first-round playoff spot as reaching the playoffs. However, getting into the first round after coming through the play-in tournament does count as reaching the playoffs

Making NBA Futures Bets Based On These Predictions

We also want to provide some quick thoughts to the NBA bettors out there

If you’re considering using the information here to make NBA futures bets (e. g. a preseason bet on a team’s regular-season win total, or on a team to win its division or the NBA championship), please keep a few things in mind

Future Payout Odds and Futures Wagers

Identifying value in current NBA futures odds based on our preseason projections requires a more involved process than we cover here. We’ve previously written about how to evaluate futures odds, which you should read if you’re considering betting NBA futures

Playoff Rotation Impacts

Our projections apply only a few rough adjustments to model the shortened rotations seen in the NBA playoffs. So, playoff advancement odds may be a relative weak spot in our model

Historical Performance of Projections

We have yet to calculate the historical profits or losses that would have resulted from making futures bets wherever our preseason NBA projections indicated there was an edge, or for a select subset of those bets (e. g. the biggest outliers compared to betting market odds)

If our projections are very far off consensus futures odds in the NBA betting markets, we’re more likely to believe that our models are missing something (and that we should go back and adjust our team ratings) than to believe we’ve uncovered some huge betting edge that no one else realizes.   

Wrapping Up

Plenty of these season projections will end up being wrong for lots of possible reasons. It’s important to understand that our goal is the overall accuracy of the system, and in particular the team ratings and projected regular-season win-loss records

Even if the system as a whole ends up being more accurate than other NBA pundits or prediction methods, projections for any one specific team could still be far off that team’s actual results

The value we bring to the table here is a systematic, data-driven approach that more precisely evaluates dynamics that human experts are typically bad at evaluating (e. g. the impact of schedule strength, or accounting for variance in expected team performance). Our system is driven not by subjective opinions, but by data that has demonstrated predictive value

Who is going to the NBA Finals 2023?

The Denver Nuggets are the 2023 NBA champions. Nikola Jokic put together a prolific performance to lead Denver to its first NBA title in franchise history, beating the Miami Heat 94-89 in Game 5 to take the series 4-1.

What teams made the NBA Playoffs 2023?

Denver Nuggets. Memphis Grizzlies
Sacramento Kings
Phoenix Suns
LA Clippers
Golden State Warriors
Los Angeles Lakers
Minnesota Timberwolves
New Orleans Pelicans (Eliminated in play-in)

Who has the worst NBA record 2023?

The Detroit Pistons had the worst record by a team in 2022-23, with a record of 17-65

What is the format for the NBA playoffs 2023?

Each conference's bracket was fixed with no reseeding. All rounds were a best-of-seven series; a series ended when one team won four games, and that team advanced to the next round. All rounds, including the NBA Finals, were in a 2–2–1–1–1 format with regards to hosting.
