NBA Season 2023/24 – Preview

Winning back-to-back titles in any major sport is no easy task, but the Nuggets will fancy their chances of achieving the feat next term.

They dominated Miami Heat in the NBA Finals and should make a bold bid to win the championship for the second time in their history.

The Boston Celtics are also fancied to be competitive after strengthening their roster with Latvia forward Kristaps Porzingis.

The Milwaukee Bucks and Phoenix Suns could make deep play-off runs, while the Philadelphia 76ers should be in contention despite the doubts surrounding James Harden’s future.

Harden has requested a trade from the 76ers, but this could prove to be a blessing in disguise if they can acquire a suitable replacement.

With reigning MVP Joel Embiid in their ranks and new head coach Nick Nurse eager to make his mark, the 76ers appeal as the value bet to win the 2023/24 NBA championship.
