With the NBA season just around the corner I’ve singled out a few over/under’s for regular season wins and I will share them with everyone as free tips.
My first two picks come from the Easter Conference:
Washington Wizards over 45.5
LeBron James has left the East and that has literally opened the door to quite a few teams “dreaming” about the NBA finals.
The Wizards underachieve yet again last year. Beal did make his first all-star team but Wall battled injuries yet again.
Dwight Howard is a certain upgrade to Gortat considering how many pick-and-rolls he and Wall are expected to run.
The Wiz are prompt for something special but Wall, Beal and Dwight Howard all need to stay healthy.
Take the over here.
Milwaukee Bucks over 47.5
The Bucks went out and got their missing piece this season and that’s Mike Buddenholzer.
“Coach Bud” will install his defense in a long, athletic Bucks teams and will seek Milwaukee’s first playoff series win in the East since 2001.
In order to do so, the Bucks will strive for top-4 finish and gain home court advantage.
While “dumping” Henson’s contract will be a tough task for the Bucks GM, adding Brook Lopez to a team that needed spacing could be critical.
Going with the over here.
Golden State Warriors under 62.5
While I’m fully aware that the already stacked Warriors have added yet another all-star to their team I’m leaning towards the under here for multiple reasons.
First and foremost, the Warriors have been to the Finals 5 straight years. Fatigue and mental toughness surely is an issue here.
Moreover, with KD and Steph batlling mid season injuries yet again last season, I belive Steve Kerr will ultimately rest his players more often.
Golden State has pretty much guaranteed themselves antoher championship if healthy so Steve Kerr will most likely err on the side of caution with his superstars this season.
What are your picks for this season?
