On April 28, Beijing time, the NBA played two playoff games, the Bucks defeated the Bulls 116-100 and reached the Eastern Conference semifinals 4-1. The Warriors beat the Nuggets 102-98 to reach the Western Conference semifinals 4-1. The NBA championship odds and Finals MVP odds have also changed.
The current odds for winning the championship are as follows: Warriors 4.0 first, Celtics and Suns 5.0 tied for second, Heat and Bucks 7.0 tied for fourth, Grizzlies 14.0 sixth, Lone Rangers and 76ers 19.0 tied for seventh, Jazz 67.0 ninth, Raptors 101.0 tenth, Pelicans 151.0 11th, Timberwolves 201.0 12th.
The Warriors' odds for winning the championship continue to rank first, the team sacrifices the death of the five small starts, Curry returned to the starting lineup to remove Looney. Curry had no playing time limit and was in excellent form, finishing with 30 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Gary Payton Jr. on the Warriors bench became a surpriser, with 15 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.
The Warriors showed decent depth in the lineup, with Bjelica, Damien Lee and Anderson not making it to the rotation, and Cumminga playing just five minutes.
Brave soldiers are strong and strong, and it is normal to rank first in the odds of winning the championship.
The Bucks also ended the day, beating the Bulls 116-100, though the Bucks were not as favored as the Green Army in the Eastern Conference. The Bucks and Heat tied for fourth, while the Green Army is second. The Bucks will play against the Green Army in the Eastern Conference semifinals, and now the Green Army is more favored to win. The Greens have home-court advantage, while Bucks second-in-command Middleton may miss some games due to injury.
However, the current difference in the odds for the Warriors, Celtics, Suns, Heat and Bucks is not very large, and these five teams are more optimistic about winning the championship, and the remaining 7 teams have less hope of winning the championship.
Curry occupies the top spot in the MVP odds table in the Finals with a value of 5.0. Tatum 6.5 second, Alphabet Brother and Booker 8.5 third, Paul 9.5 fifth, Jimmy Butler 10.0 sixth, Morant 17.0 seventh, Jaylen Brown 19.0 eighth, Poole and Doncic 21.0 tied for ninth.
Curry has a great opportunity to impact the FMVP, but his test is ahead, after all, the Nuggets who defeated in the first round lack Murray and Michael Potter Jr., and their combat effectiveness has declined a lot.
