We're about 20% of the way through the season now with most teams having played ~16 games. Do you have any hot takes so far on the season?

Rockets will be a play-off team.
OKC will have the home court advantage.
Clippers and Memphis won't make it to the play-offs.
Lakers will finish in Top 2.

Two out of these four are true.

Clippers and Memphis won't make it to the play-offs.

I think this is a good bet right now. The West is simply too deep and strong this year to recover if you dig yourself too big of a hole. The Clippers bad record has been bolstered by 5 games against the Blazers, Grizzlies and Spurs so far already (although they lost to Memphis), but their upcoming schedule for the next month is pretty brutal. They need to turn it around immediately or they could be in deep shit. And Memphis missing Ja along with all their injuries probably has just doomed them to a lost season this year.
