In the last 12 days, the American media updated the probability of winning the championship: Lakers 0.3%, Warriors 0.8%, three teams over 15%
After more than 5 months of competition, the NBA regular season has entered the final sprint stage, and the final round of the regular season will be played on April 15, for this reason, the American media "The Analyst" updated the probability of winning the championship with the last 12 days left in the regular season, of which the Lakers 0.3%, the Warriors 0.8%, and the 3 teams exceeded 15%.
10 teams are under 0.1%: Hawks, Nets, Jazz, Grizzlies, Raptors, Trail Blazers, Spurs, Hornets, Wizards and Pistons.
Of the 10 teams, only the 10th-ranked Hawks still have a chance of making the playoffs, and the rest are bad teams, and fighting for better draft picks is the primary goal.
Six teams are less than 1%: Warriors (0.8%), Magic (0.7%), Kings (0.5%), Lakers (0.3%), Rockets and Bulls (0.2%).
Most of the players are on the verge of the play-offs and play-offs, with the Magic being the highest-ranked team in the East, fourth in the East, and a title race is highly unlikely because the team is too young.
After two consecutive losses, the Rockets are less and less likely to overtake the Warriors to break into the top 10, and they need to win four more games than the Warriors in the remaining seven games to turn the tables.
The Lakers defeated the Raptors to win the seventh game in the last eight games, and the team basically sat in the ninth position in the West, 1.5 wins ahead of the Warriors behind them, and 1.5 wins behind the Suns and Kings in front of them.
Considering the remaining ultra-difficult schedule between the Kings and the Suns, the Lakers have every chance to overtake the two teams to reach the top eight, or even lock up the seventh spot.
Last season, the Lakers proved with their actions that when they enter the playoffs, they will show a completely different competitiveness, all the way to the Western Conference Finals, and I believe that this season the Lakers will also use their actions to prove that they are seriously underestimated, of course, provided that they don't meet the Nuggets in advance.
The Warriors are in a similar situation to the Lakers, and their championship possibilities are severely underestimated.
Facing the Rockets, who once won 11 consecutive wins, the Warriors withstood the pressure, and after the Dream Chaser made bold statements, they handed over explosive highlights one after another.
If the Warriors can successfully pass the play-offs and enter the playoffs, I believe that this dynasty team that has won many championships around "Kuchai Tang" will prove itself with actions.
The 10 teams are less than 5%: Knicks (4.5%), Pelicans and Bucks (3.2%), Mavericks (3%), Suns (1.8%), Pacers, Cavaliers and 76ers (1.5%), Clippers and Heat (1.3%).
The Heat, Clippers, Mavericks and Suns are obviously underrated in this bracket, and the Bucks are in a similar situation to the 76ers.
The same is true for the 76ers, Embiid has completed his metamorphosis this season and returned before the playoffs begin, but Embiid's performance in the playoffs has been inconsistent, and his performance, and whether Maxey can extend the regular season into the playoffs, will determine how far the team can go.
The Heat made it all the way to the Finals last season, and it is believed that they will still amaze everyone in the playoffs this season, but unfortunately the team still has not solved the shortcomings of Butler's lack of another top star.
The Clippers were once regarded as the first echelon of the championship before the All-Star, but the team's state dropped sharply after the All-Star break, especially the decline in Harden's state and the injury of Xiaoka, which made the Clippers' prospects no longer optimistic.
In contrast, the Suns and Mavericks are in better shape, but the former has problems defensively, and the maturity of the latter's core has yet to be verified.
Top four: Nuggets (9.5%), Thunder (15.8%), Timberwolves (17.2%) and Celtics (32%)
The defending champion Nuggets are clearly seriously underrated, and even if there are issues with roster rotation, as long as the starting lineup of Murray, Jokic, Porter Jr., Pope and Gordon remains healthy, the Nuggets are the only team to contend for a championship.
In contrast, the other three teams with a championship probability of more than 15% are clearly overrated, and the Thunder and Timberwolves lack playoff experience.
The Celtics have repeatedly used the collapse of the decisive moment to prove that Brown and Tatum's key ball ability is not trustworthy.
