There’s plenty of optimism heading into the 2018-19 Sixers season, and not just from fans who endured the dark years.
Vegas is on board, too.
Westgate, the largest sportsbook in Sin City, has opened the Sixers’ win total for the 2018-19 season at 54.5. This is tied with Toronto for second-most in the Eastern Conference behind Boston’s 57.5. Out West, Golden State opened at 62.5 with Houston at 54.5.
The Sixers opened at 42.5 last summer. Brett Brown’s crew went 52-30, which paid off for bettors who had the over. Westgate’s odds are -$110 each way.
