With regular season NBA odds just around the corner, it\u2019s time to start handicapping the division races.<\/p>\n

The Southwest Division boasts two legitimate contenders\u2014Dallas and San Antonio\u2014who may be watching their windows of opportunity close.<\/p>\n

Boston Celtics<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Last season: <\/strong>50-32, first in the Atlantic
\nBetED.com odds<\/strong>
\nNBA championship odds: <\/strong>+700
\nRegular season wins: <\/strong>Over 54.5 (-110), under 54.5 (-120)
\nPlayer additions: <\/strong>Jermaine O\u2019Neal, Shaquille O\u2019Neal, Delonte West,
\nPlayer losses: <\/strong>Tony Allen<\/p>\n

Boston went big in the offseason, adding the O\u2019Neals at center\u2014Shaquille and Jermaine. Neither is the dominant force of his younger years but, combined, Jermaine and Shaq should be a pretty respectable tandem in the middle, especially since neither will be relied upon for a ton of scoring.<\/p>\n

Which could be a problem this year. The Celtics were 19th<\/sup> in scoring last year, and the main core returns intact. Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett are all clearly in decline, so even more weight will be placed on Rajon Rondo\u2019s shoulders this year. That\u2019s just fine, as Rondo is one of the league\u2019s most dynamic players. Boston is headed back to the playoffs, and there\u2019s nobody in the Atlantic to even challenge for the division title.<\/p>\n

New York Knicks<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Last season: <\/strong>29-53, third in the Atlantic
\nBetEd.com odds<\/strong>
\nNBA championship odds: <\/strong>+4500
\nRegular season wins: <\/strong>Over 35.5 (-120), under 35.5 (-110)
\nPlayer additions:<\/strong> Amare Stoudemire, Raymond Felton, Roger Mason, Jr., Anthony Randolph, Ronny Turiaf
\nPlayer losses: <\/strong>Al Harrington, David Lee, Tracy McGrady<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t look now, but there\u2019s actually some hope in New York. Not NBA Championship hope, but playoff hope, anyway. New York\u2019s plan to sign LeBron James failed, but Amare Stoudemire is a solid consolation prize. He\u2019ll reunite with former Suns coach Mike D\u2019Antoni.<\/p>\n

Felton and Randolph are also intriguing additions. Felton has been rock solid for the past half-decade with Charlotte, averaging 13.3 points and 6.5 assists per game. Randolph averaged 11.6 points per game in limited action with Golden State last season and could be poised for a breakout.<\/p>\n

Expect D\u2019Atoni\u2019s club to score lots of points\u2014New York already ranked ninth in scoring last season and should be even better this year\u2014and make a very strong push for a low playoff spot. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Philadelphia 76ers<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Last season: <\/strong>27-55, fourth in the Atlantic
\nBetED.com odds<\/strong>
\nNBA championship odds: <\/strong>+10000
\nRegular season wins: <\/strong>Over <\/strong>34.5 (-140), under 34.5 (-110)
\nPlayer additions: <\/strong>Evan Turner, Andres Nocioni
\nPlayer losses: <\/strong>Sam Dalembert, Willie Green<\/p>\n

With most of last year\u2019s team carrying over, Sixers fans are hoping for a boost from second-overall pick Evan Turner. Unfortunately, there are already rumblings that Turner could be headed for bust territory\u2014never a good sign when your guy hasn\u2019t even played a single regular-season game.<\/p>\n

If Philadelphia really wants to turn things around, it needs to look in-house. Elton Brand was much-celebrated when he was signed as a free agent a few years ago, but he\u2019s been brutal. Brand is averaging just 13.3 points per game since joining the City of Brotherly Love, well off his career mark of 19.3.<\/p>\n

New Jersey Nets<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Last season: <\/strong>12-70, fifth in the Atlantic
\nBetEd.com odds<\/strong>
\nNBA championship odds: <\/strong>+12500
\nRegular season wins: <\/strong>Over 24.5 (-120), under 24.5 (-110)
\nPlayer additions: <\/strong>Troy Murphy, Jordan Farmar, Sean May, Travis Outlaw, Derrick Favors, Damion Jones
\nPlayer losses: <\/strong>Yi Jianlian, Chris Douglas-Roberts, Tony Battie<\/p>\n

The Nets\u2019 season went from horrendous to apocalyptic when they lost the lottery and a shot at John Wall. Instead, New Jersey slipped to third in the draft and settled for power forward Derrick Favors. Favors is nowhere near ready now but, someday, he could form a nice duo with Brook Lopez\u2014but his ceiling isn\u2019t near Wall\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Lopez, he was one of New Jersey\u2019s few bright spots last year, averaging 18.8 points and 8.6 rebounds per game in his second year in the league. He can\u2019t carry this team alone, though, so it\u2019ll be another long year in Jersey.<\/p>\n

Toronto Raptors<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Last season: <\/strong>40-42, second in the Atlantic
\nBetED.com odds<\/strong>
\nNBA championship odds: <\/strong>+10000
\nRegular season wins: <\/strong>Over 26.5 (-115), under 26.5 (-115)
\nPlayer additions: <\/strong>Amir Johnson, Linas Kleiza, Leandro Barbosa
\nPlayer losses: <\/strong>Chris Bosh, Marco Belinelli<\/p>\n

Calling Toronto a train wreck is offensive to train wrecks everywhere. The team\u2019s franchise player, Chris Bosh, fled for Miami, leaving the Raptors with basically empty cupboards. This year\u2019s starting five will probably be Jose Calderon, Amir Johnson, DeMar DeRozan, Linas Kleiza and Andrea Bargnani. That doesn\u2019t exactly inspire confidence, does it?<\/p>\n

The Raptors will be hard-pressed to win much more than 20 games this season, especially with the fan base rather cantankerous after Bosh was allowed to slip away for nothing. To be honest, the team\u2019s best case scenario is to crash and burn so it has a chance at the first-overall pick in 2011.<\/p>\n
