2024-25 NBA win totals, best bets: Projected Over/ Unders for every team, picks

The 2024-2025 NBA season is still three months away, but that won’t stop us from taking an early look into the upcoming season.

And with that, bettors have yet another exciting market to place their wagers on: season win totals.

The Brooklyn Nets have the lowest win total of any NBA team, as they are projected at 19.5 wins. This is their lowest win total in the last 30 years. The Nets recently traded Mikal Bridges to the Knicks for five first-round draft picks, so the low total tracks.

At the opposite end are the defending champion Boston Celtics and the Oklahoma City Thunder, whose win totals sit at 57.5 and 54.5, respectively.

The Celtics are coming off an impressive championship run in which they only lost three games all postseason. They are currently the favorites to repeat at +295. And OKC added two key pieces to an already talented squad that finished as the No. 1 seed in the grueling Western Conference. Alex Caruso was acquired in a trade with the Bulls, and Isaiah Hartenstein agreed to a three-year, $87 million deal with the team.

Right behind that twosome are Denver, Minnesota and New York at 52.5 wins — all teams that made the postseason this past year.

This is the Knicks’ highest win total since the 1997-98 season.

Would Russell Westbrook be a good fit for the Nuggets?

FOX Sports betting analyst Jason Mclntyre broke down his three best NBA win total bets for the 2024-2025 season.

Denver Nuggets

This is their second offseason in a row losing a top-six player, and it seems like there will be an open competition for the starting spot vacated by Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.

Lots of questions loom about the bench, even after the (reported) addition of 35-year-old Russell Westbrook, specifically whether guys like Julian Strawther, Peyton Watson and Zeke Nnaji are ready to play big minutes.

Much of the West got better; the Nuggets didn’t.

PICK: Nuggets Under 52.5 wins

Oklahoma City Thunder

Yes, the noise over the Thunder hype is deafening, but the thing is, they’re really, really good and built for the regular season.

After getting the top seed in the West last season, they added two key rotation guys in Caruso and Hartenstein and only lost point guard Josh Giddey, who saw diminished playing time in the postseason. The Thunder have roster depth to absorb an injury or two.

Sixty wins are definitely in play.

PICK: Thunder Over 54.5 wins

Thunder and Celtics take the biggest slices in Nick’s Title Pie

Golden State Warriors

The Warriors’ five best offensive players last season all logged 71 or more games. However, despite being healthy, they only won 46 games.

You could argue that Draymond Green’s suspensions hurt the team, but now that you remove Klay Thompson and backup point guard Chris Paul, how are they better?

Even if the Warriors trade for Lauri Markkanen, who would you have to give up for him?

As painful as this is, I’m going Under again on the Warriors, after hitting it a year ago.

PICK: Warriors Under 43.5 wins
