Atlantic Division: Brooklyn Nets (+220)

Many NBA analysts have struggled to predict the outcome of the Atlantic Division, including myself, but in the end I have to give the edge to the Brooklyn Nets over the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers. People forget just how good the Nets were before Kevin Durant went down with his injury. The fact that his team got swept in the playoffs by the eventual finalists Boston Celtics only adds fuel to the fire. KD is on a mission this season to once again prove that he belongs among the elite, especially after ESPN ranked him only as the 8th best player coming into this season. The addition of Ben Simmons gives them another elite ballhandler and defender, something they really lacked during the Celtics series. It is also worth noting that Kyrie Irving is in a contract year, so don't expect him to miss too many games this season as he tries to secure another bag. So even if both the Celtics and 76ers got better this offseason, I am really liking the Nets to take home the Atlant ic Division.

Central Division: Milwaukee Bucks (-260)
