Which Underdog Team Will Surprise Everyone in the 2025-26 NBA Season?
A year ago at this time, I projected the Indiana Pacers to be the No. 7 seed in the East, in a tier with teams seeded 5-8. Maybe they had an outside chance of making the top four if Philadelphia fell apart (which certainly happened). I projected the Pacers losing in the first round of the playoffs.
Obviously, I was wrong. Indiana finished as the 50-win No. 4 seed and made a playoff run all the way to Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
It begs the question: Which teams can be this season’s Indiana? Here are three.
