Best bet
Oklahoma City Thunder
The best team last season with the league’s best player, the Thunder will be free of the weight of history in their title defence.
Best value
Houston Rockets
If KD is fit and firing, the Rockets shape as a huge threat to the Thunder’s supremacy in the West.
Dark horse
New York Knicks
They perhaps lack the out-and-out superstar most Championship-winning teams require, but the well-rounded Knicks have been building impressively in recent years.
