We’ll have to wait a few more months before the season starts, but that doesn’t stop the bookmakers in Las Vegas from making initial predictions for the 30 NBA teams. We show the over/under lines as of early August (Source: DraftKings).

A short explanation: The over/unders indicate a win forecast by the bookmaker, the bettors can then either bet on the over, i.e. the team will win more, or on the under, i.e. the team will win less.
