It's somewhat interesting to look at how teams performed this year compared to their pre-season expectations based on over/under lines. Here is the breakdown, extrapolating each team's ultimate win total based on current win percentage:
18.9 NOH
13.5 DET
9.9 LAC
9.5 DAL
8.5 UTA
6.2 ATL
5.6 SAS
5.2 MEM
4.4 MIL
3.6 CHA
2.9 NJN
2.6 CLE
2.2 ORL
2.1 LAL
0.5 WAS
-0.2 PHX
-2.5 TOR
-2.6 PHI
-3.2 DEN
-3.9 MIA
-5.6 CHI

-6.9 SAC
-8.1 GSW
-8.4 BOS

-10.9 MIN
-12.1 IND
-16.1 NYK
-18.8 HOU
Dallas overperformed quite nicely. The Hornets and Pistons were easy money, as were the Clips. I pity the souls would played the over on the Tpups, Pacers, snicks, or Rockets.
