#9 - Cleveland Cavaliers

2022-23 record: 51-31

Result: Lost East first round

2024 title odds: +2500

After the franchise’s momentum was stalled with a first-round flameout against New York, the Cavs have had a strong offseason – from adding Max Strus and Georges Niang to rookie Emoni Bates looking like a potential steal in Cleveland’s run to the summer league championship. Still, the biggest question remains if the team can make enough strides next season to convince Donovan Mitchell to extend and make The Land his home. – McMenamin
