A handful of quick takeaways:
• My best bet on the board? The Utah Jazz over 52.5. They won 52 games in a 72-game season last season, then largely are running it back with the same roster. I am picking them to have the best record in the West this season (although I’m picking a healthy Lakers team to come out of the West playoffs).
• The Knicks won 41 games last season and improved their roster this offseason, yet their under/over is at 40.5 (and would finish as the No. 9 seed if you use these totals to predict seedings). That tracks with what a lot of experts predict and says less about the Knicks and more about a much deeper East that will beat itself up more this season.
• I’d take Indiana over 43.5. This is a team built to be a tough out every night in the regular season. They have depth at virtually every position and a coach in Rick Carlisle that will bring it out of them.
• I’d also take an improved Wizards team over 34.5. I think they win a few more games than that and are in the mix for a play-in spot in the East.
• The Nuggets and Clippers are the two hardest teams to predict: Contending rosters but without a key superstar needed to lead that roster. I’m more confident Jamal Murray returns than Kawhi Leonard, but when? And how long before Murray is Murray again?
