Odds as of November 5, 2024 at FanDuel
Why are the Oklahoma City Thunder projected to win the most games?
As one of two remaining teams across the Association with a perfect win-loss record as of November 5, the Oklahoma City Thunder have already made history by becoming the first team to ever open with a flawless 7-0 record having won each game by at least double digits.
Their schedule has been somewhat accommodating, as four of their first five games were against teams that didn't qualify for the playoffs last season, and recent victories over the Los Angeles Clippers and Orlando Magic came with significant injuries to key members of the opposing side, mainly Kawhi Leonard and Paolo Banchero.
Even so, that's all beyond the control of the Thunder, who've utterly dominated on both ends and now possess the No. 1-ranked defense in basketball at just 93.7 points allowed per 100 possessions.
NBA Win total To Monitor: Cleveland Cavaliers OVER 53.5 Wins (-124)
Along with Oklahoma City, the Cleveland Cavaliers have also gone unscathed early on, doing so with a brand-new head coach in Kenny Atkinson and basically the exact same roster as a year ago.
Only the Thunder and Boston Celtics are projected to win more games, and should Cleveland reach the OVER on 53.5 victories, it would be the franchise's best finish since 2015-16 when it won 57 games en route to the Cavaliers' first-ever championship.
Cleveland won 48 games in 2023-24, and with a healthy starting lineup, appear to be the class of the Eastern Conference alongside the reigning champion Boston Celtics.
How To Understand NBA Win Totals
When you check out a basketball betting site, you’ll see odds for team win totals displayed like this:
- Boston Celtics O/U 58.5
- OVER 58.5 +100
- UNDER 58.5 -122
The number beside the team name is its projected regular-season win total. In this case, it’s 58.5 for the Boston Celtics. If you think Boston is going to win 59 or more games, you would take the OVER at +100.
A $100 bet would give you a payout of $200 – you get your $100 back along with your winnings of $100. Conversely, if you think they’re going to win 58 or fewer games, you’d take the UNDER at -122. That same $100 would give $181.97 – your original money returns, coupled with your prize of $81.97.
Our Odds Calculator will show you what you’d get on a winning bet based on the odds and amount wagered.
What Is A Prop Bet On NBA Win Totals Odds?
Although this may look like a totals bet because of the OVER/UNDER aspect, this is actually a prop bet because you’re technically wagering on the occurrence or non-occurrence of a specific player or team milestone. In this case, the marker is the total number of wins being more or less than the oddsmaker’s set number.
To get the best value on your NBA prop bets, take odds you like as soon as you see them. When oddsmakers set the lines, they could change as the season progresses and more games are played.
