1. Utah- 50 plus wins in three out of last five seasons but zero Conference Finals appearances puts pressure on HC Quin Synder and Jazz heading into 2021 (Playoffs, 1 Seed)
2. Denver- Nuggets remain a West contender with reigning league MVP Nikola Jokic but must improve defensively after finishing 25th in opponent’s field goal % (Playoffs, 4 Seed)
3. Portland- Chauncey Billups takes over as head coach replacing Terry Stotts was let go after 4 first round exits in 5 seasons (Playoffs, 7 Seed)
4. Minnesota- Karl-Anthony Towns will once again average a double double and the Timberwolves will once again miss the playoffs
5. Oklahoma City- another long season is in store for the Thunder but will be a top contender in the Chet Holmgren (Gonzaga) sweepstakes
Buy- None
Sell- None
Best Bet- Denver UNDER total wins
