Best Teams in Pacific Division
The Pacific division is one of the toughest divisions in the NBA. Los Angeles Lakers, being in the top-5 NBA teams is well likely to add one more NBA championship to their 17 title wins. They have LeBron James, who is the only active player in the NBA to have 35,367 career points. They also feature Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony, and many other certified veterans that make them a heavy favorite to win the NBA title, this season.
The Phoenix Suns will bring up whole new confidence this season, after eliminating the lakers from the playoffs last year. They will hold Devin Booker, Chris Paul (CP3), Deandre Ayton, Mikal Bridges, Cameron Johnson, and Jae Crowder under a contract to present a strong NBA team. They both will face off each other on Oct 22, where the Suns will be playing their first season opener.

Best NBA Teams in Atlantic Division
The Atlantic division rules out all other teams in the west. Philadelphia 76ers after winning 3 NBA titles are all set to meet Brooklyn Nets on Oct 22. With an MVP Joel Embiid and a skilled passer and scorer, Tobias Harris, this team looks perfectly ready to dominate the eastern zone this season.
Brooklyn Nets is another strong face in the Atlantic division.

The trio of Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet, and OG Anunoby will combine together for Toronto Raptors to take care of defense and scoring from Nov. 21 against Golden State Warriors.
