As we enter the final week of the NBA regular season. I figured it would be a good idea to look back at regular season win Totals posted by PointsBet before the season started. Out of the 30 teams in the league, 24 regular-season win Totals have already been settled. Below are the six teams with outstanding decisions in the regular season win total market.
Detroit Pistons - Regular Season Win Total 25.5 - The Detroit Pistons enter the final week of the season on a three game winning streak. Dwayne Casey’s bunch has shown improvements since the All-Star break. They will need to win out to hit the Over on their win Total. Unfortunately, their final three opponents are the Mavericks, Bucks and 76ers.
Denver Nuggets - Regular Season Win Total 47.5 - I have a personal connection to this win Total, as this was one that I bet before the season started. With 47 wins under its belt, Denver only has to win one more game for this ticket to cash. It certainly helps that Denver has won four of its last six games. It closes the season with matchups vs. the Spurs, Grizzlies and Lakers. Not bad for the team that played most of the season without its second and third best players in Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. Nikola Jokic should win his second straight most valuable player award later this summer. PointsBet has the Nuggets at 12-to-1 to win the Western Conference.

Oklahoma City Thunder - Regular Season Win Total 23.5 - Despite having one of the worst records in the league, the Thunder only need one more victory this season to surpass their win Total. That might be tough for the Thunder considering they only have five wins since the middle of February. This week, it will have four chances to get that one victory. The Trail Blazers, Jazz, Lakers and Clippers are those opponents. Over 60% of the wagers in this market at PointsBet are backing the Under.
Orlando Magic - Regular Season Win Total 22.5 - The Orlando Magic will need to win their final three games of the season to cash the Over on their win total. They enter the week losers of six straight games. The Magic’s final three opponents are the Cavaliers, Hornets, and Heat. These teams all have something to play for this week.
Philadelphia 76ers - Regular Season Win Total 50.5 - If I didn’t have these numbers in front of me I would not have thought the Sixers were this close to going over on their win Total. That’s not bad for a team that played the entire season without their second best player in Ben Simmons. Of course, Philadelphia did trade for James Harden. However, he has not played his best since arriving in Philadelphia, but that could all change in the playoffs. Philly needs to win three of its final four games to cash for the Over bettors in this market. PointsBet reports 90% of the bets in this market were backing the Under. The Sixers have the second shortest odds to win the Eastern Conference at +350 on PointsBet.
Washington Wizards - Regular Season Win Total 34.5 - The Wizards have won four of their last six games, putting them in position to hit the Over on their win Total with just one victory. Washington started out the season winning 10 of its first 13 games. It only has 24 wins since then. With that being said, this late season push should result in them cashing to the Over. This week the Wizards play the Timberwolves, Hawks, Knicks and Hornets. This will be a very interesting sweat for those that bet on this market.
