Miami Heat (Offense: 14th, Defense: 8th)

With the transfer of ”The King” LeBron James, Heats will be mainly dependent on the duo of Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade. Bosh will get his three’s going, but Wade should also play a crucial role, if Heats are looking at the NBA title. The latest addition Luol Deng is expected to fire, as there is a lot of expectations on him. Miami probably won't appear in a fifth consecutive NBA Finals, the playoffs seem likely.

#9 Charlotte Hornets

Charlotte Hornets (Offense: 12th, Defense: 10th)

The Hornets are back! The Bobcats era ended on the bright note, as the team reached the playoffs for the first time since 2010. With free agent Lance Stephenson in the mix, the Hornets are looking to build on last year's campaign. The developers at 2K Sports must really love Lance Stephenson and his antics.

Washington Wizards (Offense: 9th, Defense: 13th)

The Wizards enjoyed a breakout season in 2013-14, reaching the second round of the playoffs for just the second time since 1982. John Wall , point guard gets to spend an abundance of time with the ball in his hands, particularly if you run isolation and pick-heavy systems on the offensive end. The three-point land is ruled by veteran Paul Pierce. The presence of center Marcin Gortat along with Bradley Beal can make Wizards a mighty team. What's that you say? The Wizards aren't just a one-man team?

That's absolutely correct. John Wall is their prime force.

#7 Houston Rockets

Houston Rockets (Offense: 5th, Defense: 16th)

The X-factor Dwight Howard is a major strength of the Rockets offense. Definetly one of the best centers in the league. The Rockets suffered a disappointing offseason after losing out on Chris Bosh, and then watching Chandler Parsons sign with rival Dallas. “The Beard” James Harden, is capable of putting up in excess of 25 points without warning. While the addition of Jason Terry gives Houston added punch from the outside.

#6 Portland Trail Blazers

Portland Trail Blazers (Offense: 4th, Defense: 17th)

Last season Blazers made it to the Western Conference Semifinals. They will use this confidence to get high up in the league. Damian Lillard and forward LaMarcus Aldridge are as good as it gets at their respective positions. They prooved their heroics against the Houston Rockets in that thrilling playoff series. Not to count out the experience of Steve Blake. Chris Kaman and Robin Lopez will be busy around the rim collecting the offensive rebounds.

#5 Oklahoma City Thunder

Oklahoma City Thunder (Offense: 8th, Defense: 7th)

The Cover of NBA 2K15 has a photo of Kevin Durant. His skills on the court is not questionable. With KD fracturing his foot, OKC are in the fifth best team in the league. With Durant gone, Russell Westbrook has to do the major scoring for the team.Serge Ibaka will have to do his best at guarding the paint. Reggie Jackson also has to take up responsiblities. OKC fans will be hoping to see KD back in action soon.

#4 Chicago Bulls

Chicago Bulls (Offense: 7th, Defense: 2nd)

The long-awaited return of Derrick could spring Chicago all the way to the NBA Finals, health permitting. Derrick Rose surely remains the back bone of the team. Eastern Conference will be a lot tougher, if the Bulls perform. Rose, defensive stopper Joakim Noah and the sweet-shooting Pau Gasol should fire in order to keep the Bulls going. Aaron Brooks, Mike Dunleavy and Jimmy Butler also play a crucial role.

#3 Los Angeles Clippers

Los Angeles Clippers (Offense: 3rd, Defense: 5th)

The Clippers open 2014-15 as the second-best team out West. Clippers are one of the most entertaining regular season teams. With Chris Paul popularly known as CP3 returns as the point guard and unquestioned leader of the squad. His 3p’s are a joy to watch. Meanwhile, his alley-oop targets are only getting better. Blake Griffin developed into one of the NBA's 10 best players last season, doing far more than throwing down dunk after dunk. Then there's DeAndre Jordan, expect more dunks and plenty of rejections. Jamal Crawford and points machine J.J. Reddick keeps the score-board ticking.

#2 Cleveland Cavaliers

Cleveland Cavaliers (Offense: 1st, Defense: 3rd)

The Best Offensive team in the NBA, would have been in the first position if Spurs had lost against the Heat in the Finals. The return of Lebron James to Cleveland – along with the acquisition of Kevin Love – makes the Cavs the prohibitive favorites in the East. Cavs is totally a different side with the attacking trio of LeBron James, Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving.

#1 San Antonio Spurs

San Antonio Spurs (Offense: 2nd, Defense: 1st)

Yes the NBA title winners are chart toppers. A well-deserved honor for the most complete team in the league. The Spurs put on a basketball clinic en route to their fifth title, and are among the favorites again. Expect San Antonio to manage their minutes better than anyone in the league, with their eyes firmly on playing in June. Tim Duncan’s experience, Tony Parker agility, Danny Green’s insane three pointers, finals MVP Kawhi Leonard’s dunking, Tony Parker and Boris Diaw’s flashy passing skills will surely make Spurs dominate the league.
