In the West, it's the LA Lakers, the LA Clippers, the Denver Nuggets, and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Let's rock 'n' roll!
In the ongoing tussle between the top teams in the NBA, who rules the roost? In this master blaster article, we can examine the 2019/2020 NBA performers, and see what we come up with!
Rankings in the NBA, like they are in the NFL, MLS, and MLB are totally fluid. From one season to the next, it's tough to predict which teams are going to finish at the top of the standings. To better understand the NBA, we have to break it down into its core components. Let's look at the teams and the divisions they play in.
Atlantic
Central
Southeast
Northwest
Southwest
Pacific
That's a formidable list of 30 teams competing in the NBA. Fortunately, we can easily sift through the list by eliminating the really poor performers at the bottom of the proverbial barrel. Teams that will be cut from this list will include those with a win/loss percentage of less than .581. That's to say, the majority of the games played have to have resulted in wins, over losses.
Anything under .581 has now been eliminated. That means that only following teams are in contention for the top 8 NBA teams of the 2019/2020 season. Ready to check out the betting lines on NBA games? Let's roll!

Based on the stats, an entirely different picture has emerged. We can clearly see that the most represented divisions include the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference with 3 teams, and the Northwest Division of the Western Conference with 3 teams. The least represented division is the Southeast of the Eastern Conference with the Miami Heat.
As a betting person, you could probably hedge your bets by picking the winner for the 2019/2020 NBA season from the Eastern Conference, since there are 3 teams in the Atlantic Division and 1 team in the Southeast Division. The Western Conference features just 3 teams. Of course, that doesn't rule out the probability of teams from other divisions making a play for the NBA Championship.
