NBA Win Total Update - February

The first-half of the 2014-15 NBA regular season is in the books with most teams playing at least 45 games.

Before the marathon of the 82-game regular season began, the LVH SuperBook at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort released NBA Win Totals for all 30 teams.

We checked in on teams after the 1st quarter (20 games) and took notice that the Western Conference was dominating with nine teams on pace to go 'over' their win total expectations set by the oddsmakers. Since then, a lot has changed in the West and the East.

The team taking the league by storm right now is Atlanta, who put together a perfect 17-0 mark this month. The Hawks were on pace to bust their win total of 40.5 heading into January, but Atlanta is now several wins away from cashing 'over' tickets.

Golden State also dominated in January with a 12-3 record to own the best winning percentage in the league at .837. The Warriors still have work to do to finish 'over' their win total of 50.5, but Steve Kerr's team is well on its way there.

Three clubs are stuck in the single-digit win category towards the end of January, as bettors who took the 'under' in the Knicks, Timberwolves and 76ers are looking great. The Nets and Lakers each put together a horrible month to pretty much lock up 'under' winners.

Last season, Phoenix was the first team to earn a result on its win total. This year's version of the Suns is Milwaukee, who have gone 25-22 through Jan. 31, 2015. The win total on the Bucks was listed at 24.5 victories, which means they cashed tickets on Saturday night with their home win over Portland.

Listed below are all of the teams, their win totals, record and projection, which is based on current win percentage.
