Ryan Snellings: OVER. Boston can get around 55. I love the singing of Al Horford and wouldn’t be surprised to see them add one more piece during the season to really push Cleveland.

Taylor Buckley: UNDER. Not by much though. After a solid offseason, look for them to sit right under 50 wins.

Parker Fleming: OVER. The Al Horford signing pushes the needle a tad more. All they need is a big-time trade (Westbrook? Cousins? Griffin?), and they will make Cleveland sweat in the Eastern Conference.

Ryan Schmitz: OVER. I’m a Brad Stevens believer and with the addition of Horford, I think they will contend for the two spot in the east. Let’s also not rule out the addition of some more pieces with all the assets they still have.

Ian Pierno: UNDER. Boston isn’t even the best team in the Atlantic Division.

Jacob Collins: OVER. I feel like over the course of the regular season, having Brad Stevens adds 5-7 wins to the team. Adding a legit two-way star in Al Horford makes this team an Eastern Conference Finals (or even an NBA championship) contender.
