A contender is a team that has a real chance of reaching the Finals. The West is so stacked they have 6 contenders meanwhile the East only has 2 true contenders.
East Contenders:
- Boston Celtics
- Milwaukee Bucks
West Contenders:
- Denver Nuggets
- Dallas Mavericks
- Golden State Warriors
- Phoenix Suns
- Los Angeles Clippers
- Los Angeles Lakers
