The Vegas sportsbook has released its over/under numbers for win totals of each NBA franchise this coming season. The numbers always are impressive and never meant to be taken too seriously, considering the many are influenced not so much by legitimate potential, but by betting practices of the American public.
A few things to remember. This isn’t a prediction. An NBA team or two will reach the extremes on both ends. But Vegas can’t account for that. It can’t predict that the star-studded Warriors will win 69 games. Few teams in NBA history will do that. Vegas can’t predict that Atlanta will win 14 games.
