Vegas Over/Under: 48.5

The Record Projection: 44-38 of fromal The Bet: Beneath with confidence The Minnesota Timberwolves are going to be vastly superior to previous iterations this past year.
They could count on inner improvement as Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins learn how to fulfill defensive functions more efficiently. They’re bringing Jimmy Butler into the fold after participating in a blockbuster trade with the Chicago Bulls.
Replacing Ricky Rubio with Jeff Teague is, at worst, a movement. Taj Gibson and Jamal Crawford are in city to supply more depth, and any generation from Justin Patton–the team’s first-round choice –will be gravy on top.
But Vegas’ over/under line is egregiously high.
Winning 49 games would be 18 more victories than the Timberwolves earned while moving 31-51. That’s an astronomical jump for a group that only added one enduring All-Star throughout the offseason, sacrificed a key contributor in Zach LaVine and can be incorporating a new starting point guard.
Internal advancement may only do this much, and Minnesota will be dealing with the ill effects of missing roster persistence.
Only 59 teams in NBA history have undergone year-to-year increases of at least 18 games, therefore the odds aren’t just in Minnesota’s favor. But despite projecting the Timberwolves to finish below the over/under lineup, exercise caution.
A good deal of talent is present in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, and the shooting woes are somewhat overblown because a lot of different players are better in spot-up situations than off the rebound.
