Best Teams To Play With In NBA 2K23

Without further ado, here are the best teams to play with in this year’s game:

1. Philadelphia 76ers

The best team to play in NBA 2K23 currently is the Philadelphia 76ers, boasting the following players

Joel Embiid (Center): 96 Overall
James Harden (Point Guard): 89 Overall
Tyrese Maxey (Shooting Guard): 85 Overall
Tobias Harris (Small Forward): 82 Overall
P.J Tucker (Power Forward): 77 Overall

Joel Embiid is arguably one of the best centers in the game, boasting dominant statistics in the inside with 90 Standing Dunk, 86 Mid-Range and also a 81 3PT rating to make him a threat behind the arc.

Co-star James Harden, on the other hand, boasts a 89 overall rating, rounding out a well-balanced team that’s led by two great playmakers.

2. Milwaukee Bucks

Arguably the best team in NBA 2K23, we can’t leave Milwaukee Bucks off this list. We’ll break up the roster here:

Giannis Antetokounmpo (Power Forward): 97 Overall
Jrue Holiday (Point Guard): 86 Overall
Khris Middleton (Small Forward): 86 Overall
Brook Lopez (Center): 80 Overall
Bobby Portis (Center): 80 Overall

Milwaukee are so strong as they identify perfect with the position-less basketball, boasting three big men in their starting five.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is the best player in the game which propels the roster to even more heights, however Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton come in strong with 86 a piece!

3. Boston Celtics

NBA Finals finalists enter third with a roster that is oozing with youth and well-balanced overalls across the board. To remind ourselves, this is the Boston Celtics starting five:

Jayson Tatum (Small Forward): 93 Overall
Jaylen Brown (Shooting Guard): 87 Overall
Robert Williams III (Center): 85 Overall
Marcus Smart (Point Guard): 82 Overall
Al Horford (Power Forward): 82 Overall

The Boston Celtics are a team that improved dramatically this season, playing much better basketball as they solidified themselves as one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference.

Jayson Tatum, undoubtedly their best player starts off as a 93 Overall in NBA 2K23, a rating that has improved as the season has unfolded.

A team definitely to look out for in NBA 2K23, and to strongly consider when playing head to head in MyNBA.

4. Golden State Warriors

We can’t forget the splash brothers. We see Golden State Warriors claim the fourth best team in NBA 2K23:

Stephen Curry (Point Guard): 96 Overall
Andrew Wiggins (Small Forward): 84 Overall
Klay Thompson (Shooting Guard): 83 Overall
Draymond Green (Power Forward): 83 Overall
Jordan Poole (Shooting Guard): 83 Overall

While it may be surprising to see Golden State Warriors 4th being the reigning championship holders – the roster does fall off a little following Stephen Curry.

With Steph being easily the best on the roster, do the following players follow suit as the season unfolds? So far it’s been a rocky ride for the reigning champs.

5. Phoenix Suns

The Phoenix Suns grab the fifth spot as one of the best teams in NBA still boasting a really strong lineup:

Devin Booker (Shooting Guard): 91 Overall
Chris Paul (Point Guard): 90 Overall
Deandre Ayton (Center): 85 Overall
Mikal Bridges (Small Forward): 83 Overall
Cameron Johnson (Power Forward): 80 Overall

It’s noted that poster boy, Devin Booker, and Chris Paul linger both at low 90s which is great players for fans to use as building blocks in modes such as MyNBA.

Deandre Ayton is ever growing and Mikal Bridges is an excellent defensive anchor to have on your squad as you battle it out against other team’s best players!
