15. Brooklyn Nets – 42.5
Prediction: Over
Predicting where exactly the Brooklyn Nets will finish in the standings is a pretty tough call to make.
Part of me wants to believe their veteran core of Brook Lopez, Joe Johnson, Kevin Garnett and Deron Williams will remain unscathed, but their track record from previous seasons tells us a completely different story.
If the vets can stay healthy, the Nets should have no trouble securing a playoff spot. However, if one of them goes down with an injury earlier than expected (I’ve got a feeling it’s going to be Lopez), they may wind up being a team on the outside looking in.
