Into the Bears’ Den: picking NBA teams’ over/under from Vegas projections
By Ian Pierno
MIAMI HEAT: 36.5
Ian Pierno: UNDER.
Taylor Buckley: UNDER. With the uncertainty around whether Bosh will play, and if he does, how long. The safe bet here is under.
Ryan Snellings: OVER. Call me crazy, but if Bosh plays and can all season, he along with Whiteside and Justice Winslow will be the second best frontcourt in the east. (Cleveland edges them out). They have enough to get 40 wins and be in the thick of the playoff race.
Parker Fleming: UNDER. While they may go over, they should be under. With Bosh’s health and stubbornness to his health, there is bound to be fallout. They should look to dump Dragic in a trade (Milwaukee? Houston?) and land a talented point guard in this loaded draft. Adding a young point guard with Josh Richardson, Tyler Johnson, Justice Winslow and Hassan Whiteside will do wonders for their future.
Ryan Schmitz: UNDER: I really like this team. They have a lot of intriguing, young talent. The roster has a fun mix of players and lineups which will be cool to see how Coach Spoelstra manages them. Without Bosh although, I don’t think they have enough proven NBA talent to win this year.
Jacob Collins: OVER. Coach Spo’ is a genius and will figure out a way to grind out wins with this squad. If Bosh plays, this is an incredibly easy over.
