Vegas Over/Under: 28.5
Fromal’s Record Projection: 26-56 The Bet: lean although Avoid under
The Phoenix Suns are oozing with possible, making this a terrifying bet. Even in the event that you can reasonably expect the team to finish with no more than 28 wins (and you can), you do not want to be captured by means of a breakout out of Marquese Chriss, Dragan Bender, Josh Jackson, Devin Booker or even T.J. Warren.
Individually, it’s hard to expect massive strides from any one player.
That is true of Booker, who has quite a ways to go on the defensive end before he could have the worth of a top-50 contributor, however many things he might be able to score in a single farcical game. And yes, when you’re fouling to make extra possessions and pump up the score during a contest where the perimeter wasn’t especially close, it qualifies as farcical. Interesting and undeniably impressive, much like Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point outburst, but farcical.
Collectively, however, the Suns’ ability to exceed expectations is scary. Marginal improvement throughout the board could create our win projection laughably low, irrespective of how tough it may be to compete in the Western Convention.
Over isn’t the bet. The wise play stays expecting only a few added wins upon last season’s mark (24-58) since the young guys get their feet wet and the group probably explores the trade market for Eric Bledsoe.
