The Boston Celtics are red hot and have been running teams off the floor as of late. Their switch everything defense has suffocated opposing offenses and has fans rethinking the team’s ceiling for this season. Can the Celtics come out of the East? Is Jayson Tatum an MVP candidate?

The Heat has a team of veterans that can’t seem to stay healthy at the same time. The Bucks haven’t looked like a juggernaut and it's unclear if and when Brook Lopez will return to form.
