2022-2023 NBA Southwest Division Betting Odds, Futures, And Preview.
Memphis Grizzlies won 56 games last season. Ja Morant is the team's top player. Jaren Jackson will miss the early portion of the season, but he will be back and is a great option at the four. Steven Adams will start at center. The Grizzlies have high end depth in place at all five positions.
Dallas Mavericks won 52 games last season. They went to the Western Conference Finals. Luka Doncic is the MVP candidate. Jalen Brunson left for the Knicks. Christian Wood was acquired from the Rockets. The team will return Spencer Dinwiddie, Reggie Bullock, Dorian Finney-Smith, Maxi Kleber and Tim Hardaway.
The New Orleans Pelicans are the biggest Wild Card in the Southwest division. They made a late-season run last year and won a playoff spot. Brandon Ingram, CJ McCollum and Zion Williamson return to form a low end big three with Williamson and Herbert Jones. Jonas Valanciunas will play center for the Pelicans again. Oddsmakers expect a significant leap from the team this season.
The San Antonio Spurs lost 34-48 last season. They traded away Dejounte Murray and Derrick White and made draft picks a priority. Oddsmakers have the Spurs' win total at 22.5.
Houston Rockets are rebuilding after a league low 20 wins last season. The team has a young core with a lot of potential. They are betting on 23.5 wins. The winner will be the winner of the Southwest Division. It's possible that the team will see a significant increase in wins this season, but it's also possible they will have a low win total.
