As the regular season draws to a close, some media in the United States have begun to look forward to the playoffs. Recently, the well-known American sports media "Basketball-Reference" released a long article, which listed the probability of the league's teams winning this season's championship, which caused widespread discussion.
It's no surprise that the Phoenix Suns are in the top spot with a 25.3 percent chance of winning the title. So far this season, they have achieved 50 wins and 12 losses in the league, and they are far ahead, even if the star Paul is out of the game due to injury, the team is still in the rhythm of winning, last season they have reached the finals, this season's Booker, Ayton, Bridges are more mature, they are fully likely to make a comeback and win the championship.
The Golden State Warriors are second in the league with a record of 43 wins and 19 losses so far, and also rank second with a 16.6% chance of winning the championship. Despite Curry's ups and downs, Kerr helped the team establish a good winning system, Wiggins and Poole found their places, Green is still excellent in defense and strategy, Klay is gradually recovering, and they have a chance to welcome Wiseman back to the playoffs. The Warriors have championship genes, but they also have lineup depth, and you can't ignore them.
In addition to these two teams, the top 10 teams with the probability of winning the championship are the Utah Jazz (14.1%), the Miami Heat (10.6%), the Boston Celtics (9.5%), the Memphis Grizzlies (6.5%), the Cleveland Cavaliers (5.5%), the Milwaukee Bucks (3%), the Philadelphia 76ers (2%), and the Dallas Mavericks (1.8%).
It is worth mentioning that as the unanimous optimism of the outside world at the beginning of the season, the probability of the Brooklyn Nets and los Angeles Lakers winning the championship is not high.
Among them, the Nets only have a 0.1% probability of winning the championship, sitting on a luxurious lineup, but the Nets' current record of 32 wins and 31 losses can only rank eighth in the East, and they need to face a series of problems such as Irving not being vaccinated, Simmons' state is doubtful, Harris is absent due to injury, even if the team is full of talent, it is not easy to adjust the status of the championship team in a short period of time.
The los Angeles Lakers have a low probability of winning the championship, which means that there is no chance of winning the championship. Like the Nets, the Purple and Gold Have a combination of Westbrook, James and Davis, but they have been unable to produce chemistry for a long time, and the team is currently in ninth place in the West with a record of 27 wins and 34 losses, not to mention the championship, and the playoff qualification is suspenseful.
