On pace for how many points?

Here at the All-Star break, some teams’ point totals are still a bit deceiving despite what the overall standings look like. Through Wednesday’s action, here’s a look at how many points each team is on pace to accumulate this season.

I’m going to change things up a bit from the previous times I’ve done this. I’ll factor in average point totals for home and away games through this point in the season.

Key: (Avg home point total X Remaining home games) + (Avg road point total X Remaining road games) + Current point total = Final point total pace
