ODDS AREOklahoma City has been favored in five games over the last two seasons. That’s the fewest games in a two-year span by any team over the last decade; Philadelphia was favored in a combined six games over the 2015-16 and 2016-17 seasons. That said, the Thunder were a great bet last season. They covered in 63% of their games, just behind Memphis (64%) for the best such rate in the NBA. The worst was Portland, which covered 38% of the time. This much is certain: The team that was favored in more games than anyone else last season won’t have that same distinction this year. Last year, the Utah Jazz were favored in 73 of the 82 regular-season games, ahead of Phoenix (70), Milwaukee (66), Golden State (62), Boston (61) and Miami (59). With Donovan Mitchell now in Cleveland and Rudy Gobert now in Minnesota, the Jazz won’t be favored anywhere near that often this season.

Throw in Golden State’s 4-2 mark against Boston in the NBA Finals, and the final games-won tally for the full season was West 228, East 228. The only other time since 1998-99 that the East won the regular season series vs. the West was 2008-09, going 231-219. In the other 21 regular seasons over that span, before last year, the West had gone 5, 149-3, 910 vs. the East — a. 568 winning percentage. AGE GAMEThe youngest player in the league entering this season is Detroit’s Jalen Duren, who was born Nov. 18, 2003.
LEBRON CLIMBINGLeBron James isn’t just on target to become the NBA’s all-time scoring leader this season; he’s 1, 325 points behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and at his average career scoring pace would need about 49 games to move into the No. 1 spot. He’s also set to keep moving up a bunch of other lists, including:— Assists: James is seventh right now with 10, 045, behind No. 6 Magic Johnson (10, 141), No. 5 Mark Jackson (10, 334) and No. 4 Steve Nash (10, 335). That would put him behind only John Stockton (15, 806), Jason Kidd (12, 091) and Chris Paul (10, 977 entering this season).
— Games: James has been in 1, 366, currently 14th-most all-time. He needs to appear in 27 games to pass Tim Duncan (1, 392) for 10th on the NBA career list, and could potentially catch Kevin Willis (1, 424) for eighth. — 3-pointers: James is 11th in NBA history with 2, 140, three behind Portland’s Damian Lillard and the retired Paul Pierce, who enter this year tied for ninth. — Seasons: James is entering Year 20. He’ll be the ninth player to appear in 20 seasons.
Yes, that means he wasn’t born yet when some current players were already in the league. LeBron James and Udonis Haslem both played their 11th career games on the day Duren was born. That isn’t the only age quirk this season. The 42-year-old Haslem is older than five current head coaches — New Orleans’ Willie Green, Memphis’ Taylor Jenkins, Oklahoma City’s Mark Daigneault, Utah’s Will Hardy and Boston interim coach Joe Mazzulla. Golden State’s Andre Iguodala is older than than the last four names on that list; James is older than the last three. There are 19 players currently on rosters who are older than Hardy (including Jazz players Rudy Gay and Mike Conley) and 23 players older than Mazzulla (including Boston forward Al Horford).
