NBA Over/Under 2016-2017

So before the season started, I wrote down, in my daily planner, the Over/Under lines for the total number of wins for every NBA team and made some predictions. I've done this a few times now during the past few seasons, usually while listening to Bill Simmons' podcast on that very subject. I haven't looked at them since, but I will while copying them on this blog. I know I'll feel smart about some, and quite dumb about others. That's quite normal. Here goes:

Eastern Conference:

• Atlanta Hawks - 43.5 - OVER
• Boston Celtics - 52.5 - OVER
• Brooklyn Nets - 21.5 - UNDER
• Charlotte Hornets - 40.5 - UNDER
• Chicago Bulls - 40.5 - UNDER
• Cleveland Cavaliers - 57 - EVEN
• Detroit Pistons - 44.5 - UNDER
• Indiana Pacers - 44.5 - OVER
• Miami Heat - 35 - UNDER
• Milwaukee Bucks - 36 - OVER
• New York Knicks - 40.5 - OVER
• Orlando Magic - 37 - UNDER
• Philadelphia 76ers - 25 - OVER
• Toronto Raptors - 50 - OVER
• Washington Wizards - 42.5 - OVER

Western Conference:

• Dallas Mavericks - 40 - UNDER
• Denver Nuggets - 37 - UNDER
• Golden State Warriors - 66.5 - OVER
• Houston Rockets - 44.5 - OVER
• Los Angeles Clippers - 54 - EVEN
• Los Angeles Lakers - 25.5 - OVER
• Memphis Grizzlies - 44 - OVER
• Minnesota Timberwolves - 42.5 - OVER 
• New Orleans Pelicans - 36.5 - UNDEr
• Oklahoma City Thunder - 45 - EVEN
• Phoenix Suns - 29 - UNDER
• Portland Trail Blazers - 45.5 - OVER
• Sacramento Kings - 32.5 - UNDER
• San Antonio Spurs - 57 - OVER
• Utah Jazz - 47 - OVER

That's about it, I'll write back when the season ends to see how I did. So far I think I'm over 50% right, if not 60%. But some predictions do look quite terrible (like the Wolves and the Cavaliers).
