We’re roughly 20 games (for most teams) into this 2020-21 NBA season.
Some stadiums are allowing a certain percentage of capacity for fans to attend games. The Milwaukee Bucks announced that they’ll have a 25 percent capacity inside the Fiserv Forum at some point this month.
Will the Los Angeles Lakers repeat as champions after their strong start to the season? (God I hope not!)
It’s been interesting to see the Toronto Raptors and Miami Heat have slow starts to the season.
I’ll be giving my rankings out through the first five weeks of the season. Remember, my rankings are based on games played to this point and NOT future games or how I think teams will finish.
