Tamberlyn Richardson:

I based this on my team previews which were completed one at a time giving me a total when I added everything up. Some factors could alter the numbers, for example, the loss of Deandre Ayton for 25 games or Marvin Bagley‘s broken finger.

I looked at the games considering some matchups favor Danilo Gallinari but he’ll likely be traded at the deadline unless the Thunder shocks by overachieving in the brutal schedule which marks the front quarter of the season. In that scenario perhaps Presti convinces Gallo his long term priority should be remaining with OKC (doubtful – because he wants to win now).

That said you can’t account for those things ahead of time so I’m sticking with what I predicted based on the facts entering the season…
