NBA 2K24 is one of the most exciting sports games that will be released soon. The game is a treat for many basketball fans, and this year’s edition will bring some features that have never been seen before.

2K Sports announced that NBA 2K24 will support crossplay, and the game will be available on many gaming systems. However, most players are interested in player ratings, which is why we’ve decided to make a prediction of the top 5 teams in the game.

These 5 teams will likely be the best in NBA 2K24

1) Phoenix Suns

The Phoenix Suns haven’t been able to achieve great results in the playoffs. After adding Kevin Durant at the trade deadline, the team was knocked out by the Denver Nuggets in the second round. There is no shame in losing to the eventual champions, but the Suns will look for their revenge next season.

The Western Conference team lost Chris Paul but added Bradley Beal, one of the best scorers in the league. With Durant, Devin Booker, and Beal, the Suns will be one of the best teams in NBA 2K24. They also have Deandre Ayton, Josh Okogie, and many other valuable pieces.

2) Boston Celtics

The Boston Celtics have been one of the best teams in the league for a few years. They made the NBA Finals last year and were just one win away from advancing to the final stage this year. Thanks to the great moves in the offseason, they will be very good in NBA 2K24.

Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are two fantastic wings, while Kristaps Porzingis, the newest addition to the team, will improve the frontcourt. Losing Marcus Smart will make the Celtics’ defense worse, but they should still be one of the best teams in the video game.

3) Golden State Warriors

The Golden State Warriors may not be as good as they were five years ago, but they are still very dominant. Stopping Steph Curry is nearly impossible, both in real life and in video games, which is why we expect the Dubs to be one of the best teams in NBA 2K24.

Curry’s backcourt partner will be Klay Thompson, another deadly shooter, while Draymond Green’s versatility will also be huge for the team. Despite losing Jordan Poole, the Dubs will still have enough depth in the backcourt as Chris Paul will likely be a backup guard.

4) Miami Heat

The Miami Heat showed a lot of heart by advancing all the way to the NBA Finals this year. Despite getting eliminated by the Nuggets in five games, they still had an impressive run. Their heart and soul won’t translate into the video game, but we still expect the Heat to be one of the best NBA 2K24 teams.

Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo are amazing, while the Heat have one of the most lethal scorers in Tyler Herro. If the Heat manage to acquire Damian Lillard in the offseason, they will certainly be one of the top 3 teams in the video game.

5) Denver Nuggets

Last, but not least, we have the Denver Nuggets. Not only did they have a fantastic season that resulted in a championship, but many players drastically improved over the past few months. In addition, the Nuggets have Nikola Jokic, who is arguably the best NBA player at the moment.

Jamal Murray’s rating in NBA 2K24 will likely be around 90, while we expect both Aaron Gordon and Michael Porter Jr. to be in the mid-80s. Denver lost Bruce Brown, another player who will get a huge rating boost, in the offseason. However, they still have more than enough pieces to still be amazing in the upcoming video game.
