based on developments so far, wins are give or take 1-2 and assuming reasonable health for everyone.
1. Boston: 63
2. Toronto: 58 (take time to gel with Kawhi and I don't think he gives it his all so team underachieves)
3. Philly: 57 (not as good as the national media think)
4. Milwaukee - 55 wins (Parker seems to be addition by subtraction and Giannis isn't quite a shooter yet)
5. Indiana - 51 (improving)
6. Washington - 47 wins (declining)
7. Miami - 42
8. Cleveland - 41 (surprise team of the East assuming Love stays put)
9. Detroit - 36 ("best" of the rest)
10. New York - 35 (assuming Zinger is reasonably healthy the majority of the season)
11. Charlotte - 34
12. Orlando - 32
13. Brooklyn - 31
14. Chicago - 25
15. Atlanta - 23 (worst team in the league but plenty of fodder in the East to provide periodic wins)
