NBA Central Division Preview
It’s an interesting division, with both Chicago and Indiana seeing themselves as title contenders and having legitimate basis for that belief. Cleveland and Detroit see themselves as a ready to make the playoffs, and they also have reason for confidence. Milwaukee probably doesn’t know what to think of themselves after an offseason of change, but as we’ll see, they have enough talent to be interesting.
NBA Southeast Division Preview
Let’s take a look at the basic personnel of all five teams in the NBA Southeast Division and compare them to Las Vegas expectations, as measured in the Over/Under NBA win futures.
NBA Previews: Western Conference
The NBA season starts on Tuesday night, with Boston-Miami being the opener of a TNT doubleheader, and then Dallas-LA Lakers going in the 10:30 PM ET slot. TheSportsNotebook has already run the Eastern Conference section of its NBA previews, and now we’ll focus on the Western Conference. As we did with the East, each team’s Over/Under win total, as posted in Las Vegas, will be listed and analyzed.
NBA Previews: Eastern Conference
The NBA season starts up Tuesday night with the Miami Heat getting their rings and hoisting a championship banner in a game against the Boston Celtics. That means it’s time for TheSportsNotebook to run its NBA previews. Unlike baseball or football, where we give each team a complete a preview all its own, pro hoops will just split into conferences.
The league, like hockey, is more postseason-oriented, and we’ll use between now and Christmas Day—a now-traditional showcase day for the NBA—to dig deeper into the strengths and weaknesses of each contender. For now, we’ll start with a basic overview of each conference race, and an Over/Under pick on each team’s projected regular season win total by the Las Vegas sportsbooks. This post focuses on the Eastern Conference.
