On January 13, Beijing time, this season's NBA schedule has passed the halfway mark, and the performance of each team has made everyone look in the eyes. Recently, the well-known American website "Fanduel" has also updated the odds of winning the championship, which has aroused widespread discussion among fans.
Brooklyn Nets: +260
So far, the Nets have a record of 26 wins and 14 losses, ranking second in the East, while in their last eight games, they have lost five games. There are a few words to describe their state of the season: ups and downs, stumbling. However, rao is so, an indisputable fact is that the Nets have the best offensive combination in the league, and when Irving can play, they are unstoppable. Judging from the 3 games since Irving's comeback, the chemistry between the Nets' big three is obviously much better than the Lakers' big three.
Golden State Warriors: +460
Last season's Warriors missed the playoffs, and this season they soared, ranking second in the league with a 30-10 record so far. Curry has played at the MVP level in the first 20 or so games, but in the last 20 or so games, his shooting has been somewhat chilled. There are many indications that the Warriors team is still too dependent on Curry on the offensive end, and the team needs a second offensive strength point. Wiggins and Poole may not be able to do it, but Clay should be able to make a comeback.
Milwaukee Bucks: +700
At the beginning of the season, the defending champion stumbled a bit, but as the season progressed, the Bucks' form picked up somewhat, and they are currently in fourth place in the East with a record of 26 wins and 17 losses. Compared with the Nets, Warriors, Lakers and other teams, the Bucks have limited roster depth, especially in the case of a championship, they also lost Tucker. The Bucks' bench score is at the bottom of the league, putting all the offensive responsibility on the core shoulders of Alphabet Brother and Middleton, which is obviously irresponsible. The Bucks want to defend their title, and the pressure they face is not the same as last season.
Phoenix Suns: +800
Since the introduction of Paul, the Suns have been reborn, reaching the finals last season and finishing at the top of the league with 31 wins and 9 losses so far this season. The growth of Booker and Ayton, Paul's needle lead, the most direct impression of this Suns is "steady", but overall, the Suns are still a relatively young team, the playoff experience is still lacking compared to other championship favorites, and Paul is too important to them, other players need to learn how to perform well without Paul.
Sir Utah: +1200
So far this season, the Jazz have a record of 28 wins and 14 losses, ranking fourth in the West. Unlike the Jazz in the past few seasons, their defensive efficiency has declined this season, but the offensive efficiency of 116.3 is at the top of the league. The team has never missed the playoffs since Mitchell entered the league, but the team has never been able to break through in the playoffs. Although the overall strength is very good, the Jazz team still lacks absolute talent, and there is still a lack of someone who can carry the team on the shoulders in a high-intensity game.
It is worth mentioning that the Lakers, who were once regarded as the big favorites for winning the championship at the beginning of the season, did not enter the top five of the list, and their record of 21 wins and 21 losses so far can only rank 8th in the West, in addition to the impact of injuries, the integration of Westbrook has also become a big problem. Soon, the trading deadline will come, and there is not much opportunity for the Lakers to make changes.
