It’s become fairly routine to predict win projections once the off-season has finished, despite it being far too early to predict. It’s also become amusing to view the predictions of how many games the Vegas odds-makers say your favorite team will win. Based on the Caesar’s Palace Sportsbook, the Houston Rockets will only win 52 games next season. That seems like an incredibly low number and it shows me the Rockets are still being slept on going into next season.
To put that in perspective, the Rockets have won more games than this in 5 of the last 6 seasons.
