2026/27 NBA Over/Unders: Southeast Division

With the 2026/27 NBA regular season set to wrap up in a few weeks, we’re taking predictions for the upcoming campaign seriously and continuing our annual Hoops Rumors tradition.

With the help of lines from a number of sports betting sites – including BetMGM and BetOnline – we look at the projected win totals for each of the NBA’s 30 teams by division. In a series of team polls, you’ll get the chance to weigh in on whether you think these predictions are too optimistic or too pessimistic.

In 2025/26. 14-16 of our voters went on their over/under elections. Can we top that in ’26/27?

We will continue today’s series with the Southeast Division.

Note: Our lists of offseason additions and deletions for each team only feature players on standard contracts, not two-way or practice deals.
