Via Rob Perez, Las Vegas Superbook has set the Warriors at 66.5 wins on the season. And with the Cavaliers and Spurs next on the list at 56.5 projected wins, there’s quite a gap after Golden State.

When Kevin Durant shocked the basketball world and signed with the Golden State Warriors in free agency this summer, you knew it was going to cause a lot of things to short-circuit. That little drop, Sherman said, is attributed to sharp betters taking the under.
However, Curry has said the team isn’t aiming for 73 wins again.

Let’s just say that the Warriors have the highest expected wins. In addition to the Cavaliers and Spurs, only two other teams – the LA Clippers(53.5) and Boston Celtics (51.5) – opened with win totals greater than 50. Last season, the Warriors didn’t get much rest because they were chasing history. After going 10-72 last season, the Philadelphia 76ers‘ win total opened at 27. Las Vegas’ Westgate Superbook unveiled its 2016-17 over-under win benchmarks for all 30 National Basketball Association teams. That means leapfrogging the Phoenix Suns (26.5), Los Angeles Lakers (24.5) and Brooklyn Nets (20.5) as the NBA’s fourth-worst squad. About 60 percent of the money bet on Westgates odd’s for the National Basketball Association championship are on Golden State, according to ESPN.
