Welcome to the Sportcodex NBA Preseason rankings, it has been awhile!!!

Below is a collaboration of personal power rankings of the NBA teams heading into the 2024-25 season. Ayden, Don, Ryan and myself, Carl have ranked each team and thus compiled an average ranking below. Boston clearly on top, taking the number one spot on all of our lists. But after that (even the bottom ranked teams), it was a mix with one of us would have a particular team ranked 7-8 spots higher or lower than the other 3.

Who will rise and fall? You will find out as we update our rankings every fortnight through the season, stay tuned!
