Most of the rosters are set and the preseason is winding down as we get closer to the start of the 2022-23 NBA season. There are plenty of betting opportunities before the season tips-off on Tuesday night and I don't know about you, but betting on teams over/under records is always a fun one for me.
Dejounte Murray, Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell all changed teams this offseason, but how will that effect their team's over/under totals? I've gone in-depth and picked out my 4 favorite bets this season – with two teams coming from each Conference.

Philadelphia 76ers Over 50.5 Wins (-142)
There is no team better built for the regular season than the Philadelphia 76ers in my opinion. James Harden and Joel Embiid finally enter a season after a full training camp and both are healthy and in shape. The Beard has seemingly hit the refresh button entering this season after helping the team attract new players with a pay cut in the offseason. That has allowed Philly to sign PJ Tucker, De’Anthony Melton, Montrezl Harrell and Daniel House which should improve their bench production tremendously as they finished just 28th in bench points last season. Expect Embiid to be even more motivated to go for the MVP award after narrowly missing to Nikola Jokic last season. If Tyrese Maxey takes his game to the next level big things can happen in Philadelphia this season.
