The NBA season tips off in not up to per week and we can break down every team's odds and win totals in our division betting previews. Covers Expert Matt Fargo keeps things rolling with the Pacific Division where the Golden State Warriors are on a path not just to a different division title, but a Finals trigolgy.

Golden State Warriors (2015-16: 73-9 SU, 45-35-2 ATS)

Odds To Win Division: -5000
Season Win Total: 66.5

Why To Bet The soldiers: After breaking the NBA record for normal season wins, the soldiers collapsed within the NBA Finals, blowing a 3-1 series result in the Cavaliers in order that will provide quite a few motivation for Golden St. While the massive offseason news was the signing of Kevin Durant, lost in that was the signing of quality role players Zaza Pachulia, David West and JaVale McGee so this will likely again be the most efficient team top to bottom.

Why To not Bet The soldiers: Their quest for the NBA wins record may have had some effect at the Finals collapse but that may be tough to determine.
Nonetheless, because the Warriors own the record, it's unlikely that they are attempting and break their very own record this season so we can probably see them resting more toward the tip of the season as to make a large postseason run. Golden St. gets the most efficient effort from every team they play every night.

Season Win Total Pick: Under 66.5

Los Angeles Clippers (2015-16: 53-29 SU, 40-39-3 ATS)

Odds To Win Division: +700
Season Win Total: 53.5

Why To Bet The Clippers: There'll be quite a lot of motivation for the Clippers following an ideal but lost season a year ago. They won 53 games and that was with Blake Griffin sitting a great deal of it but then the playoffs came and the luck went south when Griffin and Chris Paul were lost for the remainder of the season in Game Four against Portland. A healthy roster all of the season must have the Clippers near the highest of the conference.

Why To not Bet The Clippers: Griffin have been hurt in the future all the last two seasons and while he's still pretty young, the fear for injury is often there. La has made the playoffs all the last five seasons but has not been capable of get past the Conference Semifinals so the goal is to get no less than a top three seed but they're another injury away of another underachieving season.

Season Win Total Pick: Over 53.5

Sacramento Kings (2015-16: 33-49 SU, 38-43-1 ATS)

Odds To Win Division: +15000
Season Win Total: 34

Why To Bet The Kings: The Kings have a roster stuffed with talent led by DeMarcus Cousins and their 33 wins last season was the primary time they eclipsed 30 wins for the reason that 2007-08 season. Sacramento had a superb draft and collected some talent in free agency with Aaron Afflalo, Matt Barnes, Jordan Farmar and Ty Lawson. Sacramento has a brand new head coach so maybe Dave Jeerer can right the sinking ship.

Why To not Bet The Kings: Sacramento has not been relevant in years and it didn't do much within the offseason to enhance. While the Kings signed some solid players, they lost Rajon Rondo in order that they are weak on the point. Cousins is obviously the franchise player but most teams have a minimum of two players they are able to depend on to assist carry the team and the Kings simply wouldn't have that. Another year of mediocrity is probably going within the forecast.

Season Win Total Pick: Under 34

Phoenix Suns (2015-16: 23-59 SU, 36-46-0 ATS)

Odds To Win Division: +25000
Season Win Total: 30

Why To Bet The Suns: It's hard to believe that Phoenix has not made the playoffs because the 2009-2010 season and while it looked as if they were making strides two years previous to last season, they took a large step back with just 23 wins. Injuries were the explanation however and Eric Bledsoe and Brandon Knight, who were both averaging around 20 ppg, are both healthy again they usually form an excellent backcourt with Devin Booker.

Why To not Bet The Suns: It takes greater than a powerful backcourt and with the Western Conference as loaded because it is, it's still an uphill battle for Phoenix. The Suns don't seem to be void of talent in any way but they're young and the frontcourt remains a large question mark. Center Alex Len is decent but Tyson Chandler is old and the hope is rookie Dragan Bender can produce in no time. Phoenix has to circumvent the injury bug to compete.

Season Win Total Pick: Over 30

Los Angeles Lakers (2015-16: 17-65 SU, 36-46-0 ATS)

Odds To Win Division: +25000
Season Win Total: 24.5

Why To Bet The Lakers: The Lakers have nowhere to head but up. The Kobe farewell tour from last season clearly hurt and distracted this team so with him out of the picture, the young players have an opportunity to develop. Jordan Clarkson, Julius Randle, D'Angelo Russell and rookie Brandon Ingram are an exhilarating young group that would make this team into something special. The hiring of Luke Walton as coach was perfect.

Why To not Bet The Lakers: Randle and Clarkson are of their third year while Russell is solely in his second year so while the longer term is bright, especially by adding Ingram, the prevailing continues to be a large question mark. Veteran leadership is there with Metta World Peace and Luol Deng but there isn't a lot more experience after that. While the Lakers should win greater than the
17 games they won last year, it should not be much more.

Season Win Total Pick: Under 24
