NBA 2018-19: 5 Most Ridiculous Vegas Over/Under Odds

#3 San Antonio Spurs - 43.5, Over

DeRozan with new coach, Gregg Popovich

The Kawhi Leonard trade probably affects this number the most. The Spurs won 47 games last year, in a very competitive conference, with Leonard playing in just nine games

So why the low number?

Again, those odds are a result of potential gamblers' perception of how the Spurs will suffer from losing Kawhi. If enough people think San Antonio will be worse, the team's odds will resemble that.

However, from a basketball perspective, that shouldn’t be the case.

In exchange for Kawhi, the Spurs received All-Star DeMar DeRozan and backup center Jakob Poeltl. Adding these two to a team that finished just two wins away from the third seed the year before, is more likely to add to the win total, rather than the other way around.

Westgate's aim here is to lure people to bet under while making sure the number is low enough for that bet to be wrong. San Antonio will have a similar season to the last one, finishing closer to 50.
