NBA 2014-15


Will post a cleaned up/edited for style version of this later, with top over/under picks, but here are my predictions for NBA team win totals this season.
10/30 note: Updated to include over/unders (taken from cbssports). Everything below the 32 teams is new content. Wishing I could change some of these #s, but won't.

Indiana: 34-48  (32.5)
Miami: 42-40  (43.5)
Toronto: 46-36  (49.5)
Chicago: 56-26  (55.5)
Washington: 46-36  (49.5)
Brooklyn: 36-46  (41.5)
Charlotte: 43-39  (45.5)
Atlanta: 43-39  (40.5)
New York: 41-41  (40.5)
Cleveland: 59-23  (58.5)
Detroit: 34-48  (36.5)
Boston: 29-53  (26.5)
Orlando: 28-54  (28.5)
Philadelphia: 19-63  (15.5)
Milwaukee: 28-54  (24.5)
San Antonio: 55-27  (56.5)
Oklahoma City: 52-30  (57.5)
LA Clippers: 54-28  (55.5)
Houston: 51-31  (49.5)
Portland: 50-32  (48.5)
Golden State: 50-32  (50.5)
Memphis: 47-35  (48.5)
Dallas: 48-34  (49.5)
Phoenix: 43-39  (42.5)
Minnesota: 32-50  (25.5)
Denver: 37-45  (40.5)
New Orleans: 41-41  (41.5)
Sacramento: 30-52  (40.5)
LA Lakers: 31-51  (31.5)
Utah: 25-57  (25.5)

Favorite Overs: Philadelphia, Minnesota, Milwaukee (I never learn)
Favorite Unders: Toronto, Oklahoma City, Sacramento, Washington, Brooklyn. However, only really Sac as a near-lock, so let's count the other four as half picks. So that's effectively 3 Overs, and 3 Unders.

Obviously Cleveland and Chicago in the Eastern Finals. For now going with same Western Conference Finals, San Antonio and OKC. NBA Finals OKC over Cleveland (even though I have them as a semi-favorite Under).
