My expertise is the Pacers, and I would take the over. Wizards had 35 wins last year, and I think the pacers team as constructed is better than that wizards team, and will be actually trying this year. I would put them in the 38-39 win range, so it’s a soft over, but I think they’ll hit it.

  Wizards are another team I’d take under: they’ll blow it up mid season

Pistons should be easy over if Cade stays healthy. Bulls with the under and my guess is that they’ll finally blow it up.

It’s obvious Spurs, Magic, Rockets will go over, but I see Bucks, 76ers, Nuggets and Grizzlies under

Late reply, oh well-- as a Nets fan, I’m excited about the fresh start and the prospect of the first healthy season for Ben Simmons in years. But unless everything goes ideally, it’s hard to see them matching their KD&KI-aided 45-37 finish from last season.

They should be a likeable, hard-working team, absent divas. Bridges, Claxton and Simmons should all be AS-game candidates. Their ceiling should be a hard-fought 1st-round loss, or getting spanked in the 2nd round. Prediction: UNDER

I think my Raptors can do better than .500 (41 wins) this year - I like what I see from new head coach Darko Rajakovic. The East is deep though

  I think the whole league is uncertain whether they keep the stars or send away Siakam and OG to gain FRP and rebuild, they already have some good pieces

    I think the reason that’s unlikely is that they’ll have to finish in the bottom 2 to maintain control of the top 6 protected draft pick that was sent to the spurs. They’d have to tank from very early in the season and the team is too good to be that bad. The contract situations of OG, Trent and Pascal will keep them motivated to win. Playing team first ball is another question after seeing the bag Fred got.
