Although the NBA season doesn’t begin until October, bettors and oddsmakers are already expecting the way the 2019-20 campaign??will unfold and the Milwaukee Bucks lead the pack for projected win amounts according to online sportsbooks.
The Bucks had the best record in the NBA last season and BetOnline has put their OVER/UNDER lineup at 56.5 wins. After after the Bucks are the Los Angeles Clippers in 54.5,??Philadelphia 76ers in 54.5, Utah Jazz at 53.5 along with Houston Rockets at 53.5 to round out the top five totals on the oddsboard.
Let’s take a look that I think will surpass or fall below expectations:
Look, I thought they would win 50 games a year if LeBron James did not get hurt on Christmas Day. They get a comfortable LeBron and put in Anthony Davis to the mix? This one feels as a.
The thickness they added to this roster was not the top choices which were available however you can’t dismiss the developments of DeMarcus Cousins, Danny Green, Jared Dudley and Avery Bradley. Two of those four only got done playing at the NBA Finals and are above-average defenders with three-point firing capability.
Do I think they could win the NBA championship? Not probably, but I do think they can easily win 52 to 56 games during the regular year if everyone stays relatively healthy.
Did I miss the memo in which the Spurs regressed? Yes, they struck out on free service and had to pay for??nabbing DeMarre Carroll for more wing depth but this remains a well-constructed team and they’re receiving their point guard back.
Dejounte Murray has allegedly looked great in offseason rehab from his knee injury which was the Spurs‘ weakness a year ago after they needed to rely too much about Derrick White and Bryn Forbes to be their lead ball-handler.
San Antonio remains such a tough place for opponents to perform and last season??the Spurs??had the in-house house record in the Western Conference. They were the most efficient shooting team in the NBA if they led the league at three-point shooting percentage despite taking the fewest??number of efforts.
They also play in a division with the Grizzlies and Pelicans, who will not be great next year. I think they’ll still squeak into the postseason and after winning 48 games in 2018-19, I surely think that they can replicate that accomplishment.
Gone will be the glory years of the Chicago Bulls from the Jordan and Rose eras and now this franchise is still in a constant state of reconstruct even though they keep adding pieces every season. The Bulls didn’t really add anyone of significance outside point guard Coby White from the draft and Thaddeus Young and Tomas Satoransky in free agency.
While I enjoy these enhancements, not one of them go the needle defensively and that’s where the Bulls have been a train wreck last season. They ranked in the bottom five in both opponent field-goal percent and three-point percent and finished tied for the worst home record in the NBA at 9-32 SU in 41 games. I could see them winning 25 to 29 matches but 33??wins to the Bulls??– in the Eastern Conference — sounds absurd.
