#3 Charlotte Hornets
There's absolutely no reason to not watch LaMelo Ball in action via the NBA League Pass. Another franchise without any national TV games in the first half of the season, the Charlotte Hornets are in the ascendancy right now.
We're still waiting for an update on Gordan Hayward's hand injury but even besides him, there's a lot to like about the Hornets' current roster. Ball will clearly be the showstopper and has already displayed glimpses of his slick passing in the preseason.
Besides him, there's the high-octane duo of Devonte' Graham and Miles Bridges who took significant leaps during last season.
#2 Memphis Grizzlies
Imagine having the explosive Ja Morant on your team and still getting only three national TV games. The 2020 Rookie of the Year is a walking highlight reel considering his love for throwing down dunks. Earmarked by many as the next unicorn, Jaren Jackson Jr. will also return eventually during the season.
The one thing going for the Memphis Grizzlies is that they move the ball well. As such, you'll have different names pop up with a basket or two, most likely on an assist from Morant.
#1 Washington Wizards
It's almost laughable that the Washington Wizards don't have any national TV games despite boasting of one of the most exciting backcourts in the modern NBA. Russell Westbrook was nominated to the All-NBA Third Team in 2019-20 while Bradley Beal averaged over 30 points per game.
You also have the ever-reliable Davis Bertans who can drain shots at will from downtown. The young duo of Rui Hachimura and Thomas Bryant will also be hoping to expand their respective skill sets.
Most importantly, with Westbrook on the team, the Wizards will play with energy and speed in their quest for a playoffs berth.
