LAS VEGAS -- Its no secret things figure to be bad in Philadelphia this season for a 76ers team doing little but masquerading as an NBA franchise. Leave it to the oddsmakers in this gambling city to show just how bad things could be for a team contending for nothing but the NBAs next top draft pick. As the NBA season tips off, the over-under for total wins for the 76ers this year is 16.5, the lowest of any team and the lowest that LVH sports book oddsmaker Jeff Sherman can remember putting up on any NBA team in the last decade or so. That means optimistic Philly fans -- assuming there are any for a team with only a handful of legitimate NBA players -- can win money if they bet their team can win 17 games or more in the 82-game regular season. Conversely, those who think the 76ers are even worse than they look can cash in if the season win total is 16 or fewer. "Theyve pretty much made it known in Philadelphia theyre trying to get the No. 1 pick for Andrew Wiggins and not holding back," Sherman said. "Teams try for the draft pick sometimes late in the season, but theyre basically doing it the whole season." It gets even better for true believers. They can get astronomical odds of 9,999-1 if they want to wager at the LVH on the 76ers winning the NBA title. "It was the highest number our computers would let us put in," Sherman said. The 76ers arent alone in chasing after Wiggins, who has NBA scouts drooling even though hes just beginning his freshman season at Kansas. Things are pretty dismal in the desert, too, with the Phoenix Suns posted as the next worst NBA team with an over-under total of 19.5 wins. Perhaps most surprising, though, is that oddsmakers have such little respect for the chances of the Los Angeles Lakers and their aging and injury-prone cast of stars. They believe the Lakers will lose more than they win, with an over-under of 34.5 wins for the season. "Weve been writing a lot of over money from the public having a hard time believing the Lakers are going to be that bad," Sherman said. "We have a different view when you look at how severe Kobes injury is and the mileage of (Steve) Nash and (Pau) Gasol." Sherman, who teams with fellow oddsmaker Ed Salmons to put up the first betting lines weeks before the season opens, has defending champion Miami favoured again for most wins, though with an over-under of 60.5 he doesnt believe the Heat will approach last years win total of 66. "That was one of the easier ones and it was close to what we had last year," he said. "They won more than that last year, but that included a 27-game winning streak that we dont expect to be repeated." Miami is also favoured at 2-1 to win another NBA title, followed by Oklahoma City at 9-2, Chicago at 6-1 and San Antonio at 8-1.
