Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk NBA and MLB futures. The San Antonio Spurs are being priced at over 56 and a half wins on DraftKings, with the over carrying minus 125 juice, and that number reflects both expectation and opportunity. With Victor Wembanyama on the roster, San Antonio enters every matchup with a legitimate chance to win, and that foundational advantage underpins the case for backing the over. Clearing 56 and a half wins requires at least 57 victories, a threshold that aligns with what it will likely take to secure the top seed in the conference at minimum. There is a realistic path to 60 wins, but the wager only demands 57, creating a margin that supports the position. The remaining schedule presents challenges, ranking as the 10th most difficult, yet it also includes a mix of matchups that can be leveraged. Games against the Sacramento Kings, Portland Trail Blazers, Indiana Pacers, and Dallas Mavericks are on the slate, along with contests versus the Bucks and the Grizzlies. Within that structure lies the opportunity to accumulate the necessary wins. Given the talent at the top of the roster and the balance of competition ahead, the Spurs are positioned to reach at least 57 victories and push beyond the posted total.
