Over/Under In Wins For NBA Teams Next Season Released – Spurs Out Of Playoffs?!
With the Supreme Court clearing the way for states to legalize sports gambling, the betting industry has become more powerful than ever. NBA bets are especially popular. Bettors not only bet on specific games or the possible champions, but also on win totals. The win total lines for every team have now been released by the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook and they’re somewhat interesting.

While the Golden State Warriors are unsurprisingly the team with the highest projected win total, Houston sharing the same line with the Philadelphia 76ers and the Toronto Raptors might come as a surprise.
More so the fact that the San Antonio Spurs are believed to have their playoff streak (21 consecutive years) snapped with a projected win line of an underwhelming 43.5 wins. I highly doubt the Spurs will fall this much (if at all). Sure, the West has gotten stronger once again, but the Spurs replaced Kawhi (who almost hasn’t played last season) with an All-Star, have kept most of their talent and added some great players in the draft.
