On April 30, Beijing time, the first round of the NBA playoffs has been settled, and the remaining 8 teams have advanced to the second round to continue the championship journey. Now that the US media has updated the latest odds to win the championship, the Warriors +300 is at the top of the list, the Celtics and the Suns are in second and third place, and the Bucks and the Heat are tied for fourth place.
Playoffs Second Round Showdown:
Suns vs. Lone Rangers
Grizzlies vs Warriors
Heat vs Philadelphia
Celtic vs Bucks
In the first round of matches that have ended, there has not been a single set of series below, and all the top-ranked teams have finally advanced. In addition, none of the first rounds of the game played a seven-game tie, all of which were resolved within six games, and even the Celtics swept the Nets 4-0 in just four games to advance.
Now the US media has announced the odds for the remaining eight teams to win the championship, of which the top five teams, the specific odds for winning the championship are:
1. Warrior +300
2. Celtic +380
3. Sun +450
4. Bucks +700
5. Heat +700
The Warriors are at the top of the odds of winning the championship, even if they have missed the playoffs in the past two years, but this year the Warriors have a sense of the return of the king. Curry's form has steadily improved since his return, Thompson's first-round form is outstanding, and Poole, Dream Green and Wiggins have performed well, and their new Death Five is very effective. Although the Warriors lost to the Grizzlies in last year's playoffs, this year's Warriors are undoubtedly a comprehensive upgrade, they are also considered to be the big favorite teams for the championship, they are optimistic about eliminating the Grizzlies, and they are also expected to win this year's championship, so the odds of winning the championship are +300 at the top.
The Celtics are second in second place with odds of winning the title+380, and they swept the Nets 4-0 in the first round, showing great fighting power. As for the Celtics, even if they meet the defending champion Bucks in the second round, the Bucks lack the second boss Middleton, which also makes the balance of promotion in favor of the Celtics, and the greenshirts with both attack and defense rank second in the odds of winning the championship.
The Suns are another promising championship team, especially since they advanced to the finals last year, and this year the Suns are still strong. Booker has made a comeback, even if it has not yet fully recovered, but in the second round of the Lone Ranger, the outside world is also generally optimistic about the Suns to advance, and their odds of winning the championship +450 are in third place.
The other two teams in the top five of the championship odds list are the Bucks and heat, who are tied for fourth, both of which are +700. The Bucks won the championship again in 50 years last year and were still favourites to win the title this year, but Middleton's injury cast a cloud on them. As for the Heat, they are also more optimistic about eliminating Philadelphia, and it is expected that this season can repeat the 2020 model to advance to the Finals and compete for the fourth crown in team history.
