2019-’20 NBA Predictions To Feed The Ego

“Board Man gets paid.” — Kawhi Leonard

This is literally just a list of predictions for awards/playoff seeding/etc. ahead of the start of the NBA season tonight, just so I have a place where it’s saved. It’s an ego thing.

• MVP: Anthony Davis
• Rookie of the Year: Ja Morant
• Sixth Man of the Year: Lou Williams
• Defensive Player of the Year: Giannis Antetokounmpo
• Most Improved Player: De’Aaron Fox
• Coach of the Year: Mike Malone
• Executive of the Year: Michael Winger

Eastern Conference:

1. Milwaukee Bucks
2. Philadelphia 76ers
3. Boston Celtics
4. Miami Heat
5. Toronto Raptors
6. Brooklyn Nets
7. Orlando Magic
8. Indiana Pacers

Western Conference:

1. Houston Rockets
2. Los Angeles Clippers
3. Denver Nuggets
4. Los Angeles Lakers
5. Utah Jazz
6. Golden State Warriors
7. Portland Trail Blazers
8. San Antonio Spurs*

*I so, so wanted to pick the Kings to make the playoffs over one of the Blazers or Spurs, and I hope I’m wrong about going the other way on that one.

FINALS: Lakers over Sixers in 6 games
