Dallas Mavericks
For Dallas, the journey back to the NBA Finals starts now. The Mavericks lost in the first round of the playoffs last year, so they’ll be looking to redeem themselves this season. With a solid core of experienced players and some young talent on the rise, the Mavericks should be one of the top teams in the Western Conference
Key players to watch on Dallas are small forward Harrison Barnes and Power Forward Dirk Nowitzki Barnes is a versatile player who can score, rebound, and play defense while Nowitzki is one of the best shooters in NBA history If these two players can lead the way, the Mavericks will be tough to beat.

Houston Rockets
The Houston Rockets are one of the favorites to win the NBA Championship this season. They have a star-studded lineup that includes James Harden Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony The Rockets also have a deep bench that can score points in bunches.
The Rockets are not without their detractors, though. Some pundits have criticized their style of play, calling it “ISO-ball” because it relies too much on isolation plays rather than team play. Others have said that the Rockets are too reliant on the Three-Point Shot and that they will be exposed in the playoffs when teams start to play better defense.
Regardless of what the critics say, the Houston Rockets are a team to be reckoned with. They have all the tools necessary to win a championship, and they will be a tough out for any team in the playoffs.
Portland Trail Blazers
The Portland Trail Blazers are one of the NBA’s most storied franchises. Founded in 1970, the Blazers have won one NBA Championship and two conference titles. They have also made the playoffs 29 times in their 50-year history.
