Unveiled: The Shocking NBA Teams Set to Defy Expectations This Season!

NBA Teams That Will Underperform
Boston Celtics
Preseason TRACR: 8th in NBA, 2nd in Eastern Conference
Why They Will Underperform: Despite our model accounting for the team being without Jayson Tatum for all of next year, it still sees the Celtics being a strong contender in the Eastern Conference. Part of the reason for this is that the model assumes that Al Horford (89th percentile DRIP) will re-sign with the team, which, at this point, is very unlikely.
It also believes that Jaylen Brown, Derrick White and Payton Pritchard will be enough to keep Boston afloat without Tatum. But there has always been a big disconnect between the perception of Brown and his impact on winning. Brown won the 2024 NBA Finals MVP, but he wasn’t even in the top five on the team in DRIP when last season ended.
