With the 2023/24 NBA regular season around the corner, we’re getting serious about predictions for the upcoming campaign and continuing an annual Hoops Rumors tradition.
With the help of the lines from a series of sports betting sites – including Bovada and BetOnline – we’re running through the predicted win totals for each of the NBA’s 30 teams, by division. In a series of team-by-team polls, you’ll get the chance to weigh in on whether you think those forecasts are too optimistic or too pessimistic.
In 2022/23, our voters went 16-14 on their over/under picks. Can you top that in ’23/24?
We’ll keep our series going today with the Southwest Division…

The mavs are so overrated. They are a playin team at best.
Agreed and I don’t understand why the under votes for Memphis and the under for New Orleans are so popular. I think they can sneak up on people in the conference. Don’t ask me how with all the other good teams in the west but I’m still taking the over for those two teams.
