Some hints before we get going: the Kings are neither first or last, and the order is not the same as last season because that would be boring and I don’t like boring. I also don’t believe the teams will end in the same order, so that made this an easy rule to follow.

Anyway, let’s get started with the worst of the bunch and work our way towards the top of the Pacific Division:
