Looking for 2018 NBA Southeast Division Predictions? We’ve got your back. Because the truth is, this division isn’t going to be the most exciting across the league, but the team at the top is looking to prove folks wrong, the No. 2 team is still trying to improve its roster as of this writing, and beyond that there’s going to be a fierce battle for lottery positioning among the bottom three franchises.

The Washington Wizards are the odds-on favorites to win the Southeast Division this season, yet they were the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference a year ago. There will be plenty of storylines surrounding the quintet in this division throughout 2018-19, it just depends on whether or not you’re tuning in to see them play out in real life or catching headlines while you tune into some more entertaining battles, like the Northwest and Atlantic Divisions.
2018 Washington Wizards NBA Southeast Division Prediction
Head Coach: Scott Brooks
2017-18 Record: 43-39
Odds To Win Division: -140
Odds To Win Conference: +2200
Odds To Win NBA Championship: +10000
The Wizards have done a little housecleaning since the 2017-18 season ended. They rid themselves of center Marcin Gortat, who was beefing behind the scenes with star point guard John Wall much of last season, and they brought in Dwight Howard to take his place.
It’s saying something when you bring in Dwight Howard to clean up your locker room situation, but we’ll assume Wall was on board with the move, otherwise it would’ve never come to fruition.

2018 Miami Heat NBA Northwest Division Prediction
Head Coach: Erik Spoelstra
2017-18 Record: 44-38
Odds To Win Division: +170
Odds To Win Conference: +7000
Odds To Win NBA Championship: +30000
At this point, it’s impossible to safely make a decision on Miami’s future. As of this writing, they are engaged in trade discussions with the Minnesota Timberwolves with an eye for star guard/forward Jimmy Butler.

Should the Heat pull off a deal, they likely become the division favorites. Butler is the kind of player who can make this team a contender in a watered down Eastern Conference, and while we’re not saying this would be the second coming of The Heatles, it’d be enough to give Heat fans everywhere faith that they’re officially the best team in the Southeast.
2018 Charlotte Hornets NBA Southeast Division Prediction
Head Coach: James Borrego
2017-18 Record: 36-46
Odds To Win Division: +1400
Odds To Win Conference: +8000
Odds To Win NBA Championship: +30000
The Charlotte Hornets seem like they’re perpetually stuck in NBA purgatory. Hence the word “perpetually.”
This squad isn’t good enough to contend for a title. We can be real about that, right? But they also refuse to start over and commit to earning ping-pong balls in the NBA lottery.
This year will be no different. Although they’ll look real bad for stretches and the team will be tempted to tank, they simply can’t do that after bringing on Tony Parker at the end of his career.
This is one of the more confusing teams in the entire league. Take our advice: Stay away.
2018 Orlando Magic NBA Northwest Division Prediction
Head Coach: Steve Clifford
2017-18 Record: 25-57
Odds To Win Division: +1400
Odds To Win Conference: +10000
Odds To Win NBA Championship: +45000
Is Aaron Gordon the Orlando Magic’s best player? A healthy Nikola Vucevic? Could it potentially be Mo Bamba? Evan Fournier?
This team has a lot of questions to answer, but the first one really is: Is Aaron Gordon a franchise player who can lead you to playoff success?
Orlando will look to being answering that question this season. But before it officially gets to a conclusion, it’s going to go through a whole lot of growing pains in order to figure it out.
2018 Atlanta Hawks NBA Southeast Division Prediction
Head Coach: Lloyd Pierce
2017-18 Record: 24-58
Odds To Win Division: +3000
Odds To Win Conference: +12500
Odds To Win NBA Championship: + 40000
The Atlanta Hawks are widely considered the worst team in the NBA entering 2018-19. Their best player may be rookie Trae Young, it may be second-year stud John Collins or it could be the big-contract-earner Kent Bazemore.

It’s tough to tell right now who is going to lead this franchise into its next stage. That makes it virtually impossible to tell who’s going to lead them to success in Year 1 of this official rebuild.
2018 NBA Southeast Division Prediction
The battle up top here, whether you pay attention to it throughout the entirety of the year, is going to be fascinating. But it really does come down to whether or not the Heat come away with a successful trade for Jimmy Butler.
If the Heat trade for the (current) ‘Wolves’ star, give them the revised best odds to win the division.
If they don’t, the Wizards should be the easy choice.
