Best 2025-26 Western Conference Win Total Bets
Below are our three favorite 2025-26 NBA Western Conference over/under win total bets.
Denver Nuggets Over 53.5 Wins (-110 at FD)
The Nuggets' offseason has gotten off to a strong start, even if the deal if for much-needed backup big man Jonas Valanciunas ends up falling through.
The situation with Valanciunas -- who has entertained playing for Greek club Panathinaikos instead of Denver, but is expected to confirm his Nuggets contract soon, according to veteran NBA reporter Marc Stein -- deserves its own piece. Assuming that deal gets finalized, though, he would fill a huge need as a quality backup behind Nikola Jokic.
What do we know is that Denver landed several quality complementary pieces in sharpshooting wing Cam Johnson (via a trade that sent away Michael Porter Jr.), veteran 2023 NBA champ Bruce Brown and proven shooter Tim Hardaway Jr.
Following those moves, it's not hard to see a step forward from this Nuggets team, which won 50 games in 2024-25 despite A) a short bench, B) a lack of quality 3-point shooting -- the Nuggets were 28th in the league in made 3s in the regular season and C) Aaron Gordon and Jamal Murray missing a combined 46 games to injuries.
Remember, the Nuggets won at least 53 games in both 2022-23 (53-29) and 2023-24 (57-25), and the supporting cast around Jokic in 2025-26 could be the deepest, and best, it has ever been.
San Antonio Spurs Over 43.5 Wins (-110 at DK)
Is it just me, or do the Spurs have a great chance to blow past this number?
Obviously, there's a huge (7-foot-3, to be exact) if in San Antonio, but a healthy Victor Wembanyama could easily keep the Spurs in the thick of the Western Conference playoff picture.
San Antonio won 34 games in 2024-25 despite Wembanyama playing just 46 games. While it was just 23-29 after a loss to the Celtics on February 12 marked the final game of Year 2 for Wembanyama, this squad's upside is undeniable.
Keep in mind that Wembanyama and De'Aaron Fox only shared the court for five games last year, with Fox playing in just 17 contests as a Spur after joining the team in February.
If the Spurs have Fox and Wembanyama together, that duo could combine with 6-foot-8 wings Jeremy Sochan and Harrison Barnes, 6-5 guard Devin Vassell and 6-6 PG Stephon Castle to form one of the biggest, most athletic lineups in the NBA.
With any health luck and steps forward from either 2024 Rookie of the Year Wemby and Castle, the 2025 ROY, the Spurs have a real chance to make the playoffs this season.
Speaking of which, the Spurs' odds to make the playoffs* (-135 at DK as of July 11) aren't exactly juicy, but they're certainly tempting, even as the West seemingly gets better every year.
*Note: these odds are "to make the playoffs after the play-in tournament"
Memphis Grizzlies Under 40.5 Wins (+100 at DK)
Though Memphis has won at least 48 regular-season games in three of the last four years, this team could suffer a significant step back in 2025-26.
The Grizzlies started 2024-25 strong. In fact, they were 36-18 entering the All-Star break in mid-February. But the last few months of the season were rough. Actually, that might be an understatement following a 12-16 post-All Star break finish that resulted in the late-season firing of head coach Taylor Jenkins.
With mercurial PG Ja Morant at a crossroads entering Year 7 on the heels of two up-and-down, largely disappointing seasons, the Grizzlies are as ripe for a letdown in 2025-26 as anyone in the Western Conference.
There's also no denying that Memphis will sorely miss Desmond Bane, who was arguably its best two-player over the last few years before being traded to the Magic in June.

Victor Wembanyama takes bizarre social media shot at Karl Malone
Victor Wembanyama doesn't seem pleased with the NBA's Karl Malone praise. The Spurs' superstar indirectly threw shade at Malone on social media after a league account wished the Hall of Famer a happy 62nd birthday Thursday. 'Join us in wishing a Happy 62nd Birthday to 14x #NBAAllStar, 2x NBA MVP, and 75th Anniversary Team member… 'The Mailman,' Karl Malone! #NBABDAY,' @NBAHistory wrote on X. Karl Malone looks on during the NBA All-Star Game as part of the 2023 NBA All-Star Weekend. NBAE via Getty Images Wembanyama seemingly weighed in by re-sharing a post from DJ J. Strand — X user @DJ_Ajaxx — who posted a video of a man saying, 'What? Oh, see that's what we not about to do. Police, lock his ass up because he need to be under the jail' in response to the league's birthday message. The post from Strand seems to refer to when Malone impregnated a 13-year-old girl when he was 20 years old and attending Louisiana Tech. For years, the former Jazz star denied his paternity status despite blood tests that confirmed 99.3 percent probability that he was the father, according to a 1998 Associated Press story. Malone eventually formed a relationship with his now-41-year-old son, Demetress Bell, who played four seasons in the NFL. Victor Wembanyama #1 of the San Antonio Spurs and Chuck's Global Stars looks on during 2025 NBA All-Star Practice & Media Availability at Oakland Arena on February 15, 2025 in Oakland, California. Getty Images It's not clear if Wembanyama's re-share meant he was wading into that conversation, however. The NBA faced backlash during the 2023 All-Star weekend in Salt Lake City — where Malone played 18 seasons, winning two MVP awards — for welcoming him as part of the festivities. At that time, Malone didn't want any part of discussing his personal history. 'I'm not discussing any of that backlash,' Malone said, according to the Salt Lake Tribune. 'I don't care. That's my life, that's my personal life, and I'll deal with that like I've had to deal with everything. 'So, whatever.'

Could a healthy 76ers team make the NBA Finals?
Yahoo Sports senior NBA reporter Vincent Goodwill and fantasy basketball analyst Dan Titus discuss if a healthy Philadelphia 76ers could run the east and make the NBA Finals. Hear the full conversation on 'Good Word with Goodwill' and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you listen. View more Video Transcript Make the case, then, for the Philadelphia 76ers to get through the Eastern Conference, to get to the Eastern Conference Finals, and to get through that to the NBA Finals. Make the case. It's health contingent right now. The, the, uh, the dwelling that's all it is, health. Are you sure? I think it's health. It's health at this point because right now you're, you're, their back is against the wall. We don't know truly how healthy Joel and Beat is right now. All we know is that he's supposed to be ready for training camp. I'm taking Darryl Morey and the staff at their word at this point. If he's ready for training camp and Paul George gets re-evaluated and everything looks great at training camp, let's go. You already don't have to worry about the Boston Celtics this year, which was your biggest gatekeepers to ever getting past that to winning that Eastern Conference Finals. You got a playoff with the, with the Indiana Pacers. You get them out of there. The Knicks, they sent you home in seven games and that, that was brutal to the, to the franchise. So now you can get your lick back. Joel and B, Paul George, Tyrese Maxey, solid trio. You got Jerry McCain coming back off of an injury. He was in the running for Rookie of the Year last year before he got hurt. VJ Edgecombe already bringing a lot of energy off the bench that they could definitely use. If everything breaks right, and then as long as they Beat is healthy going into the playoffs, they got it. If that doesn't happen, well, hey, they better hope that they turn it off, um, they gotta turn off the faucet quick because they got a top 4 protected right now that's going to the Oklahoma City Thunder. So if they don't think that they're gonna win this, they need to pull the plug early. And try to just tank again and hopefully they can get a top 4 pick in what's gonna be a really good draft, but I don't know. They could be, they could be screwed. They could be screwed. Yeah, that's the bottom line, but they could be screwed. Um. No, I, I think, look, BJ HO, I think Paul George is, that's a question mark for me. Another surgery, another injury coming into the training camp. And these guys are sneaky old. We only think of LeBron, Steph and KD as old. Everybody else is getting old too, and Paul George is one of those dudes. Close
