NBA 2024-25 standings as projected by oddsmakers

Posted on

With less than a week before the regular season, we’re taking a look at who is expected to do well in the NBA this year.

FanDuel offers a projected win total for each team, with fans able to place a wager on whether the team will go over or under. The Toronto Raptors, for example, are projected to have an over/under of 30.5, which is the 11th-highest total in the Eastern Conference and the 24th-highest total overall.

The Boston Celtics, the defending NBA champions, are projected to lead the league with a 58.5 over/under, while the Oklahoma City Thunder are at the top of the Western Conference with a projected line of 57.5 wins.

With the win over/under totals from FanDuel, here is how each team is projected to perform relative to their peers:

The top six teams in each conference guarantee a playoff spot, while seeds seven to 10 compete in their respective conference’s play-in games.

Any ties were broken by the oldest rule in the book, alphabetical order. As several different tiebreakers can come into play over the course of an 82-game season, FanDuel simply picked ties (such as Memphis and Sacramento being both projected to win 46.5 games) by whichever team’s name came first from A to Z.

The NBA season tips off on Tuesday when the Boston Celtics host the New York Knicks. Tipoff is set for 7:30 pm ET/4:30 pm PT.
