Chopz—Over. The East is pretty rough and the Hawks have some nice pieces. 

Adam—Over. You’re only asking this team to win five more games than last season and the Hawks look like they're on the rise. 

Chopz—Under. This is a tough one. I’ll say they finish slightly under this. 

Adam—Under. Losing Kyrie Irving and Al Horford means the Celtics, who only won 49 last season, will come up short of this number. 

Chopz—Over. I’ll take the Nets over. Scrappy bunch. 

Adam—Over. 42-win club last season adds Irving and as long as he’s healthy I think the Nets are top 4-5 material in the East. 

Chopz—Under. What an awful team. 

Adam—Under. When Terry Rozier’s your highest paid player, you just may have hit rock bottom. 

Chopz—Over. I think the Bulls will surprise some folks this year. 

Adam—Under. You’re asking a team that won 22 games last year to win 11 more? That’s tough. Although the additions of Thaddeus Young and Tomas Satoransky will make the Bulls better, I’ll play the percentages and say they fall just short of that number. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s an over, though. 

Chopz—Over. I’m a homer and I don’t care. Darius Garland, baby! 

Adam—Under. Cavs win 25 games and I’ll get a Darius Garland tattoo.

Chopz—Over. I’m high on this Dallas team. 

Adam—Over. That being said, I'm not on the Dallas-hype train like others. Who is Dallas’s third best player? That’s why I have them missing the playoffs. But if you think the ceiling is high—which we know it is because of KP and Luka—you probably have to go over here. 

Chopz—Over. The Nuggets will be the No. 1 seed in the West. Lots of wins. 

Adam—Over. What he said. 

Chopz—Under. Another tough one. I’ll go under. 

Adam—Over. Smart money will be on the under here, but if Blake Griffin is healthy I think he can drag the Pistons past this number. 

Chopz—Under. Warriors are missing the playoffs, folks. 

Adam—Under. And it's a lock. The Warriors are making the playoffs, but with how suspect the supporting cast looks and how much of a nose-dive they’ll take defensively this is a no-brainer under play. 

Chopz—Under. Rockets will be really good but I think they miss this by a little. 

Adam—Over. Put your rent money on this one. The team perennially built to dominate the regular season will yet again rack up a lot of regular season wins. 

Chopz—Under. I like this Pacers team but this number seems high. 

Adam—Under. Agreed. I’m a huge Victor Oladipo fan but if he’s going to miss a big chunk of the season, getting to 47 wins could be a struggle. 

Chopz—Under. With Paul George out to start the season the Clippers might be off to a slow start. They’re my pick to win it all, but they’ll finish with under 54 wins by a few games. 

Adam—Over. I get the worry about load management, but the Clippers have excellent pieces around Kawhi Leonard and Paul George that aren't named Lou Williams or Montrezl Harrell. Plus, they’ll be a tenacious defensive team. 

Chopz—Over. 53 wins this year for the Lakers. 

Adam—Under. If everything breaks right—LeBron is motivated like never before, Anthony Davis stays healthy, and the supporting cast plays beyond their expectations—then the Lakers blow by this number. But two of those scenarios are longshots, if we're being honest here. I still feel like the Lakers are a weirdly constructed team that will have issues on defense. Fade 'em. 

Chopz—Under. Terrible team. 

Adam—Under. Who was drunk in Vegas when they gave the Grizzlies this number? 

Chopz—Over. Jimmy Buckets can carry this Heat team to 44 wins in a depleted Eastern Conference. 

Adam—Over. Tough one, honestly. Don’t love the roster, but the Heat do have the pieces to be five-to-six games over .500, especially in the terrible division they play in.

Chopz—Over. The Bucks will roll through the regular season and stack up a whole bunch of wins. 

Adam—Over. Still the team to beat in the East (especially in the regular season). Don’t know if they get to 60 again, but pushing at 57 is easily reachable. 

Chopz—Under. I honestly have no idea. 

Adam—Under. I want to go contrarian here and tell you that Minnesota could flirt with .500 if Andrew Wiggins ever got serious about being as good as he’s capable of being (because the guy’s an awesome athlete). But we all know that’s a big if and the supporting cast around Karl-Anthony Towns is suspect. 

Chopz—Under. The Zion injury really hurts. I thought the Pels could be a fringe playoff team before that. 

Adam—Under. With Willamson lost for a decent chunk of the season, you have to go under here. 

Chopz—Under. How exactly do the Knicks plan to score this season? 

Adam—Over. The Knicks were the worst team in the league last year and while you can (rightfully) clown on them for all those weird free agent signings, they own a significantly better roster this season compared to last (because how could it get worse). If there isn’t a mutiny over playing time (which there are already rumblings guys are complaining) then I think the vets could get this squad 28 wins. 

Chopz—Under. Going to be real weird to see CP3 in a Thunder jersey. 

Adam—Over. This is a lock. OKC has a much, much better roster than most realize. Could see them winning 35 games easily if they don’t deal Danilo Gallinari. My best bet for the season. 

Chopz—Over. Mark the Magic down for 42 wins in my book. 

Adam—Over. Orlando has a roster full of respectable NBA players, but nobody that’s going to wow you. If the Magic won 42 games last year they can probably do it again without much drama. 

Chopz—Over. I love this Philly team. My pick to make it out of the East. 

Adam—Over. Tough, tough number, but I think you have to take the over and hope Joel Embiid plays 70 games. 

Chopz—Under. Will the Suns ever be good? 

Adam—Under. If you take the over here you’re smoking dust. 

Chopz—Over. Dame and CJ are about to show out in a wide open Western Conference. 

Adam—Under. Feels like a low number for what the Blazers are capable of. But there was a decent roster shakeup and just because this squad won 53 games last season and made the Western Conference Finals last season doesn't mean it's positioned (right now) to repeat those results.  

Chopz—Over. I like this Kings team a lot. Would be very cool to see them in the playoffs. 

Adam—Over. Because I can make a much better case for the over here than I can being contrarian and telling you it’s an under play. 39 wins last season with a low-key better roster than some might realize heading into this season.

Chopz—Under. I think this is the year the Spurs miss the playoffs. 

Adam—Under. Just barely. I still believe in the Spurs snagging that No. 8 seed out West because bet against Gregg Popovich at your own peril. Let’s not forget this team is getting Dejounte Murray back and let’s not shade the considerable skills of LaMarcus Aldridge and DeMar DeRozan. 

Chopz—Under. What a weird year the Raptors had. They won a title so nothing else really matters. 

Adam—Over. What the hell. The East ain't that good and the Raptors are decent enough to sneak past this number. 

Chopz—Over. The Jazz should cruise to 55 wins. 

Adam—Over. The Jazz won 50 games last season and asking them to win an additional five with how much better they should be offensively is an easy sell. They'll feast on teams unfortuante enough to play the second end of a back-to-back in the altitude of Salt Lake City.  

Chopz—Under. Yikes, this team is going to be awful. 

Adam—Under. Because Bradley Beal can only do so much with unquestionably a hideous, horrendous roster.
