Brooklyn Nets: 24-13 (2nd place in the Eastern Conference) 

Of course the Brooklyn Nets are going to top this list! Not only are they the best offensive team in the league since trading for James Harden, but they are putting up some historic numbers this season. 

The last team to average 120+ points per game over the course of a season was the 1984-85 Denver Nuggets led by 8x All-Star and Hall-of-Fame forward Alex English. Through 37 games this year, the Brooklyn Nets are averaging 121.1 points and doing so without their best player in Kevin Durant. The 11x All-Star has been out since February 13th with a hamstring injury and has missed the Nets last 9 games. Over the span, Brooklyn is 8-1 and averaging nearly 121.7 points per game.

With Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving all healthy, this team could not only score well over 120 points per game, but they could challenge the 1981-82 Denver Nuggets who hold the record for Highest Average Points Per Game in a Season with 126.48 points per game.

After just adding former All-Star forward Blake Griffin to the mix, the “rich are getting richer” and the Brooklyn Nets have solidified themselves as the team to beat this season, even though the Los Angeles Lakers are the reigning NBA champions.

Every move every team makes at the NBA trade deadline this year will be to try and catch up to the Brooklyn Nets, which may not be possible at this point. We have yet to see the best of the Nets and at full strength, it seems almost impossible to be able to stop this team. 

We have never seen a team with this much talent and firepower offensively, which is the main reason why the Brooklyn Nets are positioned to have the strongest finish to the season out of any other NBA franchise and could be well on their way to winning their first championship in team history.
