In the early hours of this morning, the official update of this season's NBA championship odds, the Nets, warriors won the top of the list, the second place, last season's two teams that reached the Finals, the Suns and Bucks tied for third, the Jazz fifth, the Lakers and heat tied for sixth. The specific odds and charts are as follows:
Nets +250
Warrior +500
Bucks, Sun +700
Jazz +900
Lakers, Heat +1200
Clippers, Philadelphia +2200
Bulls, Nuggets +2500
The Nets' pre-season odds list is at the top of the odds list, with odds of +230, which is also very stable compared to today's updated odds of +250. Although Harden's state at the beginning of the season was worrying, fortunately, Harden's state has picked up significantly recently, Durant's recent shoulder injury has also said that there is no problem, and Irving, one of the big three, also made his season debut not long ago, and the Nets are currently looking in a good direction. The only problem is that according to the local epidemic prevention regulations in New York, Irving may be able to play the Nets home game, but he needs to pay a fine, and the number of fines is increased one after another, and after reaching the maximum value of the regulations, it will not increase. I don't know if the Nets will choose to let Irving pay the penalty and then play, because Irving does not play the home game is also to be fined by the team, for Irving personally, since the horizontal and vertical are to be fined, playing the home game is completely on their own pleasure, which is actually a serious injury to the Nets.
The Warriors jumped from fourth to second place before the season, with odds rising from +1300 to +500, and the change in odds shows that the Warriors' performance this season far exceeded people's expectations. This season, the Warriors can play well, and Poole, who has performed in the previous season, has completed the evolution, and this season can help the team have more options in the outside line to launch tactics, and the Warriors have been moving closer to the championship overall. But the Warriors' current state is not good, Curry's recent outside shooting rate is far lower than normal, and he lost to the weak Pelicans in the last game, hoping that the Warriors can get out of the trough as soon as possible.
The Bucks are still solid, and the ranking is also third. The Suns were slightly different, climbing from sixth to tied for third, with Paul and Booker proving that reaching the Finals last season was not a flash in the pan, but a show of hard power. As for the Jazz, although the sense of presence is not strong, it has always been ranked fifth to show the team's strong combat effectiveness and steady play. However, the Jazz have always lacked a superstar with a final word, and unless Mitchell evolves again, the Jazz's prospects for winning the championship are still not optimistic about most people.
The Heat Lakers are tied for sixth, and as two teams that met in the 2020 Finals, it is really fate to meet in this ranking. The Lakers fell from second to sixth, the odds changed from +400 to +1200, the Lakers championship does not look like it will happen, even if James's personal performance this season has been impeccable, but the Lakers lineup aging, poor defense, incompatibility and other problems can not be solved by James alone. The Heat have begun to slide since reaching the Finals in 20 years, and finally squeezed into the playoffs as the sixth place last season, and the Heat's highest ranking is the same in the case of the core framework.
The Clippers' Philadelphia rankings have not changed much, from seventh to eighth to tied for eighth, and the two teams are playing normally. The Nuggets have been very good at keeping ninth place with so many injured players. The Bulls climbed from fourteenth to tied for ninth with the Nuggets, but as the top of the Eastern Conference record list, this ninth genus is a bit of a look down on the Bulls, and it remains to be seen whether the scorn against the outside world can become the driving force for DeRozan and Lavin.
