#2 Phoenix Suns
If you would have said at the beginning of the year that the Phoenix Suns would have a chance to finish with the best regular season record in the Western Conference, I probably would have told you that you were absolutely crazy, but the Suns have shocked everyone this year and have been one of the best all-around teams in the NBA.
The difference Chris Paul has made for the Suns has been quite remarkable this season and with one of the best pure scorers in the NBA in Devin Booker and DeAndre Ayton in the paint, the Suns find themselves just one game back from the Utah Jazz for the best record not just in the Western Conference, but in the entire league!

From Chris Paul to Devin Booker to Jae Crowder to Mikal Bridges, this Suns team has a ton of overall depth and all season long, they have been one of three teams to rank inside the Top-10 in both Offensive and Defensive Rating.
The Suns have already won two of the three games against the Lakers this season, with their third meeting scheduled for May 9th. This team has a chance to be very special this year and given how talented they are, the Suns are definitely a team the Lakers do not want to run into if they do not have to!
