NBA Predictions – 2024-25 Regular Season Team Win Over/Unders

The 2024-25 NBA Regular Season will begin on October 22nd. Training camp will start on October 1st, and the preseason will begin days later. This is the ideal time to explore NBA predictions and consider which futures bets might be worth placing.

While injuries over the next several weeks can have a big impact, getting an idea of how oddsmakers see them playing out is a great way to set a frame of reference. Then, it becomes just a matter of keeping a close eye on those injuries and any telling trends before laying your bets. 

With that being said, here’s an informed look at the Regular Season Team Win Over/Unders for a handful of NBA squads so that you can get an edge on the competition.

Cooper Flagg, a 2.06 m two-way phenom from Maine, is one of the most highly touted American players in a long time and is eligible for next year’s NBA Draft. 

Flagg is the projected number one pick of the 2025 NBA Draft amid recent international player dominance. Utah will surely be one of the teams contemplating their chances of lucking into that pick and setting their franchise up for the future. 

If Flagg is the generational player he is praised to be, the Jazz will have plenty of competition for the bottom.

While the NBA recently changed their lottery odds to disincentivize teams from having the worst record, it did incentivize teams to have one of the three worst records, which gets you equal odds at the first pick.

So, as long as the Jazz have one of the bottom three records in the league, they will get a 14% chance of completely changing their franchise’s future prospects. It’s a strong motivation to tank for Utah. 

Trends to Know

Outside a memorable run in the early 2000s under Rick Adelman, the Sacramento Kings have been one of the most hapless major sports franchises of this century. Their 48-34 record two seasons ago was their first above .500 in 17 years, breaking an NBA-worst 16-season playoff drought.

Last year, they regressed in record slightly, limping to a 46-28 mark, finishing with the ninth seed, and losing in the Play-In Tournament. Their results are a testament to how much tougher the Western Conference got.

This year, they lost six key veterans, most notably Harrison Barnes, but brought in some potentially key players, led by the interesting addition of DeMar DeRozan.

They are projected at 46.5 total wins, roughly the same number of victories as last year. So the question basically is, are the Kings better or worse? In a hungry Western Conference with several established teams, it may take too long for the Kings to figure out who they are with DeRozan.

The face of recent international player dominance is the main reason that the Over on the Spurs’ total wins is one of the most popular bets in the futures market.

Victor Wembanyama wowed even more during this year’s Paris Summer Olympics and many are convinced he will be making a superstar leap in just his second year.

That’s actually not hard to believe. What does cast doubt on betting the over on basketball betting sites is thinking a San Antonio squad that won 22 games last year will increase that by 15 whole games in this tough Western Conference.

Adding a 39-year-old Chris Paul and fellow veteran Harrison Barnes, plus some unproven rookies, is simply not enough to contend for the playoffs in the West.

The unfortunate reality is to win at least 37 games, the Spurs will need to be just that. It is not out of the question. Just last season, the Houston Rockets, of all teams, improved by 19 games, going from 22-60 to 41-41. Proof it is possible for San Antonio to achieve the same. 

But the Spurs haven’t won that many games since the 2018-19 season. Their last year making the playoffs was six seasons ago. They’ll improve, but not likely by that much.

Trends to Know

The Lakers finished last season 47-35 amid a slew of injuries and questionable roster decisions by a since-fired coach. Their Over/Under on wins has gone down since it opened at 44.5 a couple of months ago.

This was most likely due to a lack of hardly any significant off-season moves. Except, of course, the hiring of a new, and unproven, coach, J.J. Redick. He’s now just the biggest of many question marks going into the Lakers’ 2024 season.

A first-year coach with no experience, save for his son’s youth league, Redick is the definition of unproven at his position. Combine that with aging and injury concerns for the Lakers’ two superstars, LeBron James, the greatest scorer in history, and Anthony Davis, and it is understandable why many doubt Los Angeles.

Still, what two superstars they have! James and Davis played dominant roles in Team USA’s Olympic Gold run this summer, and the Lakers will not look to waste their time together.

Once the season starts, the Lakers will continue working on trades to dynamically upgrade the squad. 

Trends to Know

Another team starting out with a brand-new coach is the Cleveland Cavaliers. Fresh off signing superstar Donovan Mitchell to a three-year contract extension, the Cavs also welcomed in former Brooklyn coach, Kenny Atkinson.

While Atkinson only had one winning season with the Nets, he is a widely-respected coach who spent the last three years as the top assistant in Golden State. He’ll be taking over for a disappointing J.B. Bickerstaff who could only muster one playoff series win in his five years leading the Cavs.

While many may question the Cavs roster construction, they did battle injuries last year. Atkinson seems poised to take this team to heights they never reached under the previous regime.

Expect the Cavs to establish themselves as serious contenders in the East, hovering close to the top seed all season long.
