Uncovering the Hidden Clues in NBA Preseason That Could Rewrite the 2025-26 Season Dynamics
While winning in the preseason is a good indicator of future success, a poor prelude won’t disqualify a team from competing for the grand prize. Over the last 10 years, only six NBA champions had top-10 net ratings. Two of those teams (the 2020-21 Milwaukee Bucks and 2015-16 Cleveland Cavaliers) even had bottom-10 net ratings in their preseasons.Â
So, it shouldn’t be much cause for concern that the Oklahoma City Thunder (our highest-rated Western Conference team) were 17th in net rating or that the Cavaliers (our highest-rated Eastern Conference team) were 22nd.Â
