Summation of Wins Produced

14.5

35.0

Projected Wins Produced is simply Wins Produced * (82 / number of games team has currently played). 

In other words, I am assuming the team keeps allocating the minutes the same as they have done across the first 34 games and that player per-minute performance does not change at all.  For the Celtics, due to injuries, these assumptions are problematic.
