Las Vegas Sets Over/Under Win Totals for All NBA Teams; Warriors at 67.5
The Golden State Warriors were dominant last season, but Las Vegas expects them to be even better in 2017-18.
Ben Fawkes of ESPN provided a list of the over/unders for each team, according to the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook on Tuesday. The mark for the Warriors is at 67.5, which would require an improvement upon their 67-15 record from last season.
The Boston Celtics have the next-highest projection with an over/under of 56.5 victories after winning 53 games last year.Ā
The Celtics added Gordon Hayward, Kyrie Irving and Jayson Tatum to a team that finished first in the Eastern Conference last season, but they also removed several key players, and chemistry could be an issue.
Despite the question marks, they are expected to be three games better than the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have a 53.5-win projection.
In the Western Conference, the Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder are all expected to be among the top competitors to Golden State. These are also the only teams with better than 20-1 odds to win the conference, perĀ Odds Shark.
The Rockets and Thunder each made big acquisitions in the offseason, while the Spurs have won at least 55 games in each of the last five years.
On the other other end of the spectrum, the Chicago Bulls are projected for the lowest win total in the NBA at 21.5. Although the team was 41-41 last season, dealing away Jimmy Butler and releasing Rajon Rondo has oddsmakers expecting a massive decline for the once-proud franchise.
