NBA Futures: 2017-18 Win Totals for Every Team

AccuScore's NBA Side Value Picks were over +10,900 last season, and AccuScore has picks against the spread, on totals, on moneyline and, of course, on side value for every game: NBA Picks

The 2017-18 NBA season is here, and AccuScore simulated out every game 10,000 times to project out win totals for every team, and as we're accustomed to doing, we placed those win totals next to Las Vegas' win totals lines so that you can see the best value bets according to the AccuScore computer. Notably, the computer believes the Golden State Warriors will win 70 games, meaning the Warriors will become the first team to cross the 70-win mark multiple times, and the computer projects the Warriors to hit those all-time heights twice in a three year span.

Also, the computer is down on the Los Angeles Lakers, Chicago Bulls, Brooklyn Nets and New York Knicks, with the three biggest markets in the NBA projected to feature four teams that all fail to hit 30 wins on the season. Chicago is projected to finish with an NBA-worst 20 wins, while the Lakers and Knicks rebuilding jobs have two of the NBA's marquee franchises handing in the 26-28 win range.

Boston is projected to win 60 games and lead the Eastern Conference in wins for the second straight year, and Cleveland is projected to finish second. As a note, these projections came before Gordon Hayward's horrific injury, but Boston finishing above Cleveland in the regular season was the computer's preseason pick, so we'll stick with it.

Out West, the Warriors are the best team in the league, but San Antonio has competition with Houston, Minnesota and Oklahoma City all projected to win over 50 games and stack up the Western Conference Playoffs.
