The Boston Celtics are the favorite to repeat as champions and Oklahoma City guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander gets the nod as the potential MVP, according to an annual survey of NBA general managers about the upcoming season.
Boston finished last year with the best regular-season record in the NBA, 64–18, and won its 18th NBA title, the most in league history. Eighty-three percent of the GMs in the survey believe the Celtics will become the first repeat champions since the Golden State Warriors in 2017–2018.
