The Trail Blazers’ 2019-20 NBA regular season schedule is here and so are the win-total projections for coach Terry Stotts’ squad. ESPN’s Kevin Pelton released his re-tooled RPM projections this week, and the Blazers’ win total might come as a surprise.
According to ESPN’s projections, the Blazers are slotted for 40.2 victories and the final playoff spot in the competitive Western Conference.
A modest RPM projection is nothing new for the Blazers, who were pegged for 41.7 wins last season before actually winning 53 en route to the conference finals.
