Using the MGM Report as a guide, which team below most likely exceeds their win projection the most this season? I picked 10 options, maybe someone else should be there?

I'm going to go with Charlotte if LaMelo and Brandon Miller can actually stay healthy this upcoming season

Honestly other than the Nets all the other teams (if healthy) have a chance to go over.

I went with Cleveland because of how much talent they have and they’ll probably steamroll pretty much the 10 worst teams in the east every other night. 30-40 “free” wins is a pretty good way to reach like 65 wins.

If reasonably healthy, I cant see NO winning under 31 games.
They only had one guy play over 60 games past season..just insane.

I am eager to see Portland, I think that team can be good.

So for a team to improve the most, they probably have to climb, what, 8 games? Hard to see a lot of teams doing that.
But I think Portland could get 40 or 41 wins so I voted for them.

Charlotte, Portland, or the Spurs Imo. Considering the odds, the Hornets have the best chance with only 27 and plenty of talent that just needs a full healthy season.

NOP, I'm buying into the Zion hype.
Healthy season of Zion, Herb and TM, and they should be good for mid 40s.

Same. Portland has everything they need to be really good.

I told my Uncle to bet the over on the Bulls. 33 wins isn’t a lot, and we won 39 last year.

Pelicans are a safe bet to crack 40 with even halfway reasonable health. If they have an outlier health season for them, even better. It would be almost impossible to eclipse the injuries of last season.

The problem is there’s like 14 teams in the West that have the talent to win 40+ games, but there’s not that many wins to go around.
Decent teams like the Pels and Blazers could end up in the low 30’s just due to the strength of the conference.

A bunch of teams are going to fall way short because of injuries. We went from 49 to 21 just like that from injuries. Someone else will. Might be us again, but hopefully law of averages gives us an assist this time

My head says Portland, my heart says Chicago. Voted Bulls. I really think they have something cooking with that squad and I think Dosunmu is a break out candidate.
