With the start of the 2024-25 NBA season on October 22, let's review all thirty teams and their chances, see if the Celtics can repeat, and what the Lakers need to join the list of favorites.

With the NBA season underway, all eyes are on Victor Wembanyama. This talented player, considered a generational prospect, has exceeded expectations in his rookie season and is emerging as one of the top favorites to win several important awards.

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball is aiming for a triumphant return this Wednesday in the preseason game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This would be his first appearance in the NBA in over two and a half years; he has missed nearly a thousand days since he last played in the league, making this a highly anticipated moment for his fans and bettors. According to various sources, if all goes well, Ball could also play in the Bulls' final preseason game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on October 18.

The NBA is a world of uncertainties, and coaches are no exception. With only five coaches who joined their teams before 2020, the environment is more volatile than ever. Despite their successes, some have been quickly fired, such as Mike Budenholzer from the Bucks and Monty Williams from the Pistons. Here are five coaches facing the most pressure this season.

The 2024-25 NBA season is just around the corner, and one name is resonating in Boston: Luke Kornet. The 7-foot-2 center is shining in the preseason, becoming a key player for the Celtics.
