Vegas Over/Under: 48.5

Fromal’s Record Projection: 44-38 The Bet: Under with confidence The Minnesota Timberwolves are going to be vastly superior to previous iterations this year.
They could count on inner improvement as Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins learn how to fill defensive roles more efficiently. They’re bringing Jimmy Butler to the fold after engaging in a blockbuster trade with the Chicago Bulls.
Replacing Ricky Rubio with Jeff Teague is a lateral movement. Taj Gibson and Jamal Crawford are in city to supply greater depth, and any generation from Justin Patton–the team’s first-round choice –will be gravy on top.
However, Vegas’ over/under lineup is egregiously significant.
Winning 49 games would be 18 more successes than the Timberwolves earned while moving 31-51. That’s an astronomical leap for a team that just added one enduring All-Star during the offseason, sacrificed a key contributor in Zach LaVine and is integrating a new starting point guard.
Internal advancement can only do so much, and Minnesota will be handling the ill effects of missing roster continuity.
Only 59 teams in NBA history have undergone year-to-year increases of at least 18 games, therefore the chances are not exactly in Minnesota’s favor. But despite casting the over/under line to be finished significantly beneath by the Timberwolves, exercise caution.
A lot of talent is within the Land of 10,000 Lakes, and the shooting woes are somewhat overblown because a lot of distinct players are far better in spot-up scenarios than off the bounce.
