To preview the NBA season, Keith, Dave, and special return guest Jon Burr go through all 30 teams and predict win totals and make their over/under picks.

Consensus has the Thunder, Nuggets, Cavaliers, Knicks as the best teams, but just how many games exactly do we think they win? How low can we go with the Jazz, Wizards and Nets? How do you make heads of tails of the Celtics, 76ers, and Pacers this season? Precisely how many teams can finish with exactly 37 wins?

This season premiere of Fastbreak Breakfast dives into it all, plus Keith some negative reviews for a bagel shop and a fantasy sports provider (FANTRAX).

Most analysts and fans agree on which are the very best and very worst teams heading into the 2025-26 season. In between lies a lot of teams that are very closely bunched together, where a few breaks will decide which ones cruise into the playoffs and which ones will be fighting to make the play-in.

On this episode of Fastbreak Breakfast, Keith and Dave draft which teams they think are the MOST LIKELY to end up in the middle and make the play-in tournament, plus they give some reactions (and awards) for their preseason observations.
