Why Warriors, Knicks, Bulls, Clippers are among the toughest teams to forecast for 2021-22 NBA season
CBSN
For various reasons, there are at least five teams especially tough to predict
About a month out from the start of training camp for the 2021-22 NBA season, which will finally be back on a traditional timeline, Caesars Sportsbook released its over/under win total lines for all 30 teams on Wednesday. No real surprises at the top: The Brooklyn Nets (54.5), Milwaukee Bucks (53.5), Los Angeles Lakers (51.5), Philadelphia Sixers (51.5), Utah Jazz (51.5) and Phoenix Suns (50.5) are the six teams with over-50-win lines. At the bottom, the Oklahoma City Thunder (22.5), Orlando Magic (24.5), Houston Rockets (24.5), Cleveland Cavaliers (25.5), Detroit Pistons (26.5) and San Antonio Spurs (29.5) are the six under-30 lines. Baring major injuries, all those projections sound about right to me. You can argue about the actual win totals (that's what gambling is for), but generally speaking, the top six are going to be really good teams and the bottom six are going to stink.
