Excitement for the 2025 NBA Summer League
The excitement for the 2025 NBA Summer League kicks off this Thursday, heralding the approach of the upcoming 2025-26 regular season. Following their inaugural championship, the Oklahoma City Thunder is back in the spotlight, with an impressive opening win total set at 62.5. This figure marks the highest for any team since the 2018-19 season, when the Golden State Warriors boasted an over/under of 67.5, powered by stars Kevin Durant and Steph Curry.
Eastern Conference Projections
In the Eastern Conference, the Cleveland Cavaliers are positioned strong with a predicted win total of 55.5. This puts them three wins ahead of the New York Knicks at 52.5, as they aim to secure the top seed for a consecutive year. Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic’s projected total of 51.5 signifies their best estimate since the 2010-11 season, during which the franchise, led by Dwight Howard, achieved 52 victories.
Challenges for the Utah Jazz
On the other end of the spectrum, the Utah Jazz are facing challenges with a win total forecast at only 18.5, a figure not seen since the struggling 2014-15 Philadelphia 76ers, who recorded 16 wins during their “Trust The Process” phase.
