Vegas Over/Under: 31.5

Fromal’s Record Projection: 30-52 The Bet: lean although Prevent under
Spoiler alert: Losing Paul George is a major deal.
According to NBA Math’s total points added (TPA) metric, the haul–if you can call it –brought back couldn’t quite match his production during the 2016-17 season. Whereas the superstar small forward finished with 150.42 TPA, Victor Oladipo (minus-58.86 TPA) and Domantas Sabonis (minus-159.61) dropped just a bit short.
Obviously, the Pacers purchased into these kids for their long term potential. They should improve throughout the 2017-18 effort, and the same is true of Myles Turner, who’s a solid bet to turn into a first-time All-Star throughout the upcoming season. This roster does have some upside down, particularly when factoring in Cory Joseph and T.J. Leaf.
However, is that sufficient to overcome the departures of George and C.J. Miles? Not, which is exactly why a steep dropoff should be anticipated after the Pacers somehow exceeded expectations to complete with a 42-40 record lest year.
These players will all be studying in featured characters, and losses will happen quite often. But that is not a bad thing. Allow the up-and-comers develop, maximize the potential of draft choices during the 2018 potential pageant and reap the rewards in the future.
