The Over should be smashed but issue with bets like this are they take till the end of the season to pay out and your funds are locked up till then.

If we have reasonable health and don't pivot to a tank again though, this should be fairly close to a lock.

Yeah, pretty easy over. I did some fiddling with win shares, BPM and EPM to try to project a team net rating and win total, and that's all based on last year's performances (which should be a floor for this year), and I kept getting results right around .500. So, 40 ish wins as a likely floor, and in my opinion a lot of upside from there.

I'd like to think over but it's a fair number considering recent history and the injury risk. Basically, Brandon Ingram is a huge mystery and huge injury risk. Quickley's been in and out of lineups forever for whatever reason and Barnes probably doesn't play 65 games if he wasn't dead set on being in consideration for All-NBA and super max. Poeltl's probably in and out half due to injury and half due to tanking but there's huge impact whenever he's out due to team's lack of size. So that's 4 out of 5 in starting lineup with risk on a roster whose ceiling is probably not very high to begin with. So 34.5 is fair estimate.

.500 is the floor for this team next season. But I'm expecting 45 wins. This gotta go over unless major injuries.

I don't gamble but it always struck me as stupid that people bet on over/unders for 8 months down the line and just hand their money over interest free for that period. Anyway easy over.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

So much of this depends on health but is we get 85+% of starters starts outside of BI who I would rest one of back to backs. Maybe same for Jak some
I could see us 40-45 depending on matchups and schedules. Example a Texas road B to B vs say NO then Houston we have a better chance of going 500 vs Dallas & Spurs B to B.

Smash that over button. We got 30 wins last year due to lots of injuries and deliberate tanking. I would be very surprised if are under.

We have a injury risk roster....So there are reasons to believe we under achieve again next season.....Even Barnes hasn't been the healthiest since his rookie season.....We are a Yak/Ingram injury away from having really bad few weeks without them to be back in the tanking ranges....

With a healthy and all things go well season....We will prolly be in that 40-44 win range....But its a big if with the injury history of a few guys....
