The Golden State Warriors are projected to win 66.5 games by the Westgate SuperBook in Las Vegas, 10 more than the Cleveland Cavaliers and San Antonio Spurs at 56.5.
The Warriors' number is the highest win total oddsmaker Jeff Sherman has ever posted prior to the season and attracted early money on the under from sharp bettors.
"Basically, the sharps are liking the under [on Golden State] and the public is liking the over," Sherman said.
Several teams that missed the playoffs last season are projected to make significant improvements.
