Season has been fun so far. The best thing about it is that with so many strong teams, there's always at least one interesting match-up a day... which hasn't happened in a while.

Clippers look tough to beat early on (though they're currently losing to the Suns...), and the Lakers will get better and will probably look unbeatable not too long from now. Pelicans are a good team without Zion. I'm really interested to see what they look like with him on the floor. Porzingis and Doncic look real, but the Mavs probably need more depth if they want to make the playoffs. Utah needs a stud if they ever want to make it out of the West. They're stacked, but they don't have a perennial star that you seem to need nowadays to win in the playoffs. The East is too tough to predict. Nobody looks particularly outstanding so far and I'm still not sold on the 6ers and Bucks after losing Butler and Brogdon.

Clippers or Lakers win the chip barring injury. I have little doubt.
