LeBron James is so powerful that he has the ability to drastically change the projected win totals of two teams. His new team, the Los Angeles Lakers, have increased their projected total to 48.5 wins because the best player in the NBA has changed jerseys. The Cleveland Cavaliers, meanwhile, are expected to go from perennial contender to lottery team. Cleveland’s projected win total in the 2018-19 season is down to 30.5 wins.
The Golden State Warriors have the highest win total in the NBA at 63 wins. It is little surprise considering Golden State has the star quartet of Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson and has added talented power forward DeMarcus Cousins to the fold. The Warriors’ biggest foe may be monotony as there isn’t a ton of motivation left to have a dominant regular season when the playoffs are all that matters to this group.
The Houston Rockets are expected to be the main contender to the Warriors’ throne and they have a projected win total of 55.5 wins. The Rockets did better than that a season ago and return stars James Harden and Chris Paul.
The team to beat in the Eastern Conference is the Boston Celtics. They have a projected win total of 58 as they put together a solid showing last season and now welcome back stars Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward. The Toronto Raptors added star forward Kawhi Leonard in a trade with the Spurs and their projected win total is set at 55 wins.
The Philadelphia 76ers figure to be the other main contender in the East. Their projected win total is set at 53 as they aim to keep moving up the ladder of legitimate championship contenders.

The Houston Rockets are a good pick to finish “over” their win total as they will aim to finish with a better record than the Warriors. The best pick, though, is the San Antonio Spurs. Yes, they dealt Leonard away but did get DeMar DeRozan back in the deal. San Antonio will look different this season, but a bar of 45.5 wins is not too high.
Gregg Popovich is the best coach in the NBA and he will be able to coax more than 45 wins out of his team this season. Take the “over” on a new-look Spurs team in the 2018-19 regular season in NBA wagering.
