As the 2016-17 NBA regular season approaches, the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook came out with its yearly preseason projected win totals for 2016-17.

It wasn’t much of a surprise, but the Golden State Warriors were the highest, at 66.5 wins.

The Cleveland Cavaliers and San Antonio Spurs came in at 56.5, tied for second-most.

The Brooklyn Nets are projected to finish dead last at 20.5.

In this article, we’ll take a look at each of the divisions in basketball and where each team is expected to finish, based on the Vegas odds.

This is strictly for entertainment purposes, but I’ll provide my thoughts on whether I believe each team will go over or under their projected win totals in 2016-17, with a brief explanation behind each pick.

Before we start, it should be noted that in 2015-16, 16 teams went over, while 14 went under their projected totals.

A few of the teams where Las Vegas got it totally wrong were the Charlotte Hornets, who won 15.5 more games than they were projected to, the New Orleans Pelicans, who finished 17.5 games below expectations, and the Portland Trail Blazers, who won 17.5 more games than projected.

Let’s get started with 2016-17.
