Jeff Sherman, manager of the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, has just revealed the projected win totals for all 30 NBA teams in the upcoming 82-game regular season. Unsurprisingly, no team in the league is expected to win more games than the defending champion Golden State Warriors, whose over/under for the 2017-17 season is sitting at 67.5. What's more, the Warriors' projected win total is more than 10 games above any team in the league.
The team with the next highest projected win total in the NBA is the Boston Celtics, who are currently listed at 56.5 after the Kyrie Irving trade. The other team involved in that deal, the defending Eastern Conference champion Cleveland Cavaliers, are sitting at 53.5 which is the second highest win total in the East.
Out West, the addition of Chris Paul in Houston has the Rockets looking at a projected 55.5 wins, slightly ahead of the 54.5 that the San Antonio Spurs are listed at and the 51.5 win total that Russell Westbrook, Paul George and the OKC Thunder are slated to hover around.
Now, on to the other side of the spectrum.
The lowest projected win total in the upcoming season belongs to the Chicago Bulls who are pegged for just under 22 wins. Atlanta Hawks fans are also in for a long year with a projected 25.5 wins, as are Brooklyn Nets fans who can look forward to another sub-30 win season.
The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook also believes the Philadelphia Sixers will finally have a winning season (42.5), which is the same win total they've assessed for the Charlotte Hornets and Portland Trail Blazers.
Take a look at the projected win totals below, as well as some playoff odds from the Westgate, and let us know which line you're putting your money on.
