On March 5, Beijing time, the NBA's competition for this season has reached the final stage, and each team has about 20 games left to determine the playoff list, so many teams have to take this opportunity to try their best to improve their records. However, many times the strength of the team has been demonstrated since the beginning of the season, and although the status can be improved through trades, most of the teams' rankings will not change much. Now we can also make a certain judgment on the attribution of this season's finals, and many American media have given corresponding odds.
Sun Warrior +450
Today's league has always maintained a pattern of strong west and weak east, and the teams in the west are obviously stronger than in the east, so the top two teams in the west have become the most likely teams to win the championship. Now that the Suns and Warriors have been ranked first and second in the West for a long time, they are also considered the most likely team to win the championship. Although the Warriors' record is about 7 wins worse than the Suns, their odds are consistent, both are as high as +450, and the final championship is likely to be produced between their two teams.
Nets +600
The next team came to the East, and what was surprising was that the outside media was still generally optimistic about the Nets after the trade with Harden, knowing that they had lacked an MVP-level combat power, but the Nets were still considered the most likely team in the East to win the championship. This has something to do with the Nets' own roster, because even if they trade Harden, Durant and Irving are still two All-Star players, and Harden traded multiple good role players can make up for the shortcomings of the Nets' lineup, which will allow the Nets to go further in the playoffs.
76 bucks +650
In addition, there are still many good teams in the East, including the 76ers and Bucks, who have played well recently. As the defending champions of last season, the Bucks have a bad record this season, but the overall strength is still very strong. The 76ers have undergone a qualitative change because of Harden's joining, and the combination of Embiid and Harden has produced unexpected combat effectiveness. Today's 76ers may have become the biggest dark horse in the East, and it should not be particularly difficult to beat the Nets and Bucks.
Heat +900
The next team to talk about is the Heat, the Heat this team is really an undead small strong, they will not have any impact because of other teams to trade or reinforcement, they are to maintain a set of original core lineup to reach the current height. Butler plus Adebayor plus a series of core players such as Lowry, plus a few excellent veterans, the chemistry generated by such a lineup is perfect. If the Heat could have another All-Star, they would be even more terrifying.
Jazz +1600
The last team is the Jazz, and the strength of the Jazz has actually improved a lot in the past two years, because they bet on Mitchell and Gobert, and the cultivation of these two All-Star players can serve as the foundation of the team for the next decade or so. However, the talent ceiling of their two players is also very obvious, and it is difficult to withstand a more powerful game. So the Jazz hope to win the championship every year, but always a little bit different from the championship, which may be the sadness of the Jazz.
