EASTERN CONFERENCE: SOUTHEAST DIVISION

- Charlotte Hornets — 40-42
- Miami Heat — 39-43
- Atlanta Hawks — 36-46
- Orlando Magic — 34-48
The southeast division will have three playoff teams: Washington, Charlotte, and Miami. Washington finally has a new head coach in the proven winner Scotty Brooks. After missing out on the playoffs completely in 2015-16, the Wizards need to be there this season.
Washington finally has a new head coach in the proven winner Scotty Brooks. After missing out on the playoffs completely in 2015-16, the Wizards need to be there this season. But they spent all their money this summer on bigs and didn’t add any wing help.
The Hornets and Heat will take a step back. Losing Jeremy Lin and Al Jefferson will hurt Charlotte more than they realize and Miami is in rebuilding mode.
The Dwight Howard experiment in Atlanta will be a disaster. Don’t be surprised if he’s traded next summer.
As for Orlando well, the Biyombo signing was kind of weird. Like Washington, they spent all their money this season on big men. A trade involving Nikola Vucevic seemed logical, but it never came.
