The NBA will resume action on July 31 at Walt Disney World’s ESPN Wide World of Sports complex. Twenty-two teams qualified for the league’s restart in Orlando. There will be eight regular-season games — plus a potential for a play-in tournament for the postseason — and playoffs to conclude the 2019-2020 season, which was suspended on March 11 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Of the eight teams not eligible for the league restart, six came from the Eastern Conference: The Charlotte Hornets, Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks, Detroit Pistons, Atlanta Hawks and Cleveland Cavaliers. The Minnesota Timberwolves and the Golden State Warriors were the only Western Conference clubs not eligible for the league resumption.

Before the season concludes, let’s rank the 22 teams headed for Orlando, beginning with Nos. 22-11.

22. Washington Wizards

The Washington Wizards (24-40) are 16 games under .500 and own the NBA’s worst defensive rating. Star point guard John Wall has missed the entire season due to Achilles surgery and won’t return until next year.

21. San Antonio Spurs

San Antonio has reached the playoffs in 22 consecutive seasons, tied for the longest streak in league history. The Syracuse/Philadelphia 76ers also made the playoffs 22 years in a row, from 1950-71.

LaMarcus Aldridge had a surgical procedure performed on his right shoulder, which will cause him to miss the remainder of the season. This all but assures the Spurs will miss the playoffs for the first time since 1997.

20. Phoenix Suns

There is plenty of young talent in Phoenix, highlighted by Devin Booker and 2018 No. 1 pick DeAndre Ayton. Booker became the first Phoenix Suns player to make the All-Star squad since Steve Nash in 2012.

Ayton was suspended for the start of the season due to a PED violation, but showed promise when active. He has produced 19 points, 12 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per night.

The Suns (26-39) had the worst record among Western Conference squads invited to Orlando and have little chance of making noise in the summer reboot.

19. Sacramento Kings

The Sacramento Kings have not made the postseason since 2006, the longest playoff drought in the league.

They were playing their best basketball of the year before the season was halted, winning seven of 10. Unfortunately, the playoffs will likely have to wait another year for the Kings.

18. Orlando Magic

The unofficial host of the NBA’s restart, the Orlando Magic (30-35) will rely on Nikola Vucevic to put the team on his back. The center produced 36 double-doubles in 54 appearances.

Guard Evan Fournier (elbow), the club’s No. 2 scorer behind Vucevic, will be ready to roll when play picks back up. However, forwards Jonathan Isaac (hyperextended knee) and Al-Farouq Aminu (torn meniscus) are not expected to return this summer.

17. Brooklyn Nets

The offseason signings of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving ultimately led to the unjust firing of head coach Kenny Atkinson, who was canned after a 28-34 start to the year. Durant and Irving were reportedly unhappy with Atkinson at the helm.

On the plus side, Brooklyn won its only two games under interim coach Jacque Vaughn, including a victory over the Los Angeles Lakers which included a game-winning shot from Spencer Dinwiddie.

Irving and Durant — who missed the entire season — will not play in Orlando. It may actually be a good thing that Irving is out for the Nets. They went 8-12 in games with Irving in the lineup and 22-22 without him.

16. New Orleans Pelicans

The New Orleans Pelicans (28-36) started the season 7-23, but have recovered following the debut of Zion Williamson and the return of center Derrick Favors (back spasms). Williamson, who made his first NBA appearance Jan. 22, has thrived in limited minutes and the Pelicans won 10 of 19 games with him active.

Williamson has scored at least 20 points in 16 games. According to ESPN Stats & Information, he’s the first player to register 16 or more 20-point games within his first 20 career games since Michael Jordan did so in 1984-85.

New Orleans, which is on the outside looking in for the playoff picture, has hope for the postseason due to the dominance of its fully-healthy starting lineup. The Pelicans’ starting lineup of Lonzo Ball, Jrue Holiday, Brandon Ingram, Williamson and Favors have the NBA’s best net rating among lineups that have played at least 200 minutes together.

15. Portland Trail Blazers

The halting of the NBA season allowed center Jusuf Nurkic (compound fracture of tibia and fibula) and forward Zach Collins (shoulder) to rehab from their injuries. Nurkic and Collins could push Carmelo Anthony and Hassan Whiteside to the second unit.

Damian Lillard played at an MVP-level for portions of the season. The Portland Trail Blazers (29-37) are a talented squad, but will need Lillard to produce at a superstar level to qualify for the postseason.

14. Memphis Grizzlies

Point guard Ja Morant is a near-lock for Rookie of the Year honors, leading the Memphis Grizzlies in scoring (17.9) and assists (6.9).

If the Grizzlies indeed qualify for the playoffs, Morant would become the third rookie in league history to lead a playoff team in points per game and assists per contest. Elgin Baylor and Michael Jordan were the only other players to previously accomplish this feat.

13. Indiana Pacers

Domantas Sabonis earned his first All-Star appearance this season, producing 50 double-doubles (62 games played) and four triple-doubles. The Indiana Pacers big man has robust per-game averages of 18.5 points, 12.4 rebounds and five assists.

Despite Victor Oladipo not appearing in a game until Jan. 29 and free-agent signee Malcolm Brogdon missing 17 games due to injury, the Pacers clinched a playoff spot.

Oladipo, a two-time All-Star, looked like his old self in his final contest before the league hiatus, logging 27 points.

12. Dallas Mavericks

All-Star Luka Doncic will likely capture the NBA’s Most Improved Player honors. The second-year guard is posting 28.7 points, 9.3 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game with a Player Efficiency Rating (PER) of 27.75. He ranks fourth in both assists and PER and is sixth in scoring.

The Dallas Mavericks have not yet clinched a playoff berth, but expect them to be one of the most feared teams in the summer restart. They have the Western Conference’s third-best point differential. Furthermore, they rank No. 1 in the entire NBA for offensive rating.

11. Utah Jazz

The Utah Jazz announced in the middle of May that forward Bojan Bogdanovic would undergo wrist surgery, ending his season. Utah’s marquee free-agent signing, Bogdanovic is one of 10 players to average 20-plus points per game with a true shooting percentage of 60 percent or better.

Utah may also be without the services of forward Joe Ingles. He has expressed his concerns with playing in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic because his wife Renae is pregnant and their four-year-old son Jacob has autism and a weakened immune system.

Mike Conley will have to pick up the slack. Traded to the Jazz in the offseason, the point guard has been a major disappointment in his first year in Utah.
