The Cavaliers managed to advance to the next round, but didn't get much optimism. The U.S. media has only given a 0.7% prediction for their chances of winning the title. The strength of the opponent Celtics should not be underestimated, which makes the prospect of the Cavaliers even less optimistic.
Although the Mavericks managed to advance to the next round, their probability of winning the championship was only 2%. Despite their excellent players, Doncic's injury could have an impact on the team's performance.
The Pacers are a young team and their championship probability is assessed at 2.5%. Despite their success in eliminating the Bucks, the Pacers' odds against the Knicks aren't too high.
The Nuggets, as the defending champions, found themselves with a 4.6% chance of winning the championship. Although they performed well in the playoffs, the Nuggets' strength was questioned due to the weakening of the roster.
After beating the 76ers, the Knicks have a 7% chance of winning the championship. Although they have been excellent on the defensive end, they could face a tougher challenge against Celtic.
The Timberwolves have an 8% chance of winning the championship, and they showed great quality and defensive ability in the first round.
The Thunder, the top seed in the West, have a 21.5 percent chance of winning the tournament. Despite the youth of their core players, their talent and impact give them a significant advantage.
Celtic are considered the most likely team to win the title, with a whopping 53% chance of winning the title. Celtic have a strong squad and quality, and their outstanding performances have made them one of the favourites to win the title.
The above is the prediction of the American media for the probability of the remaining 8 teams winning the championship. Do you think such a prediction is reasonable? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
So, at this pivotal time in the playoffs, every team faces great challenges and opportunities. Although the American media has predicted the probability of each team winning the championship, the charm of the basketball game lies in its uncertainty and variability. On the pitch, every game can have an unexpected outcome, and every team can counterattack or lose unexpectedly.
For the fans, it's time to show your support and passion for the teams you support. No matter which team you are rooting for, you should believe in their strength and team spirit. Even though the probability of winning the championship is underestimated by the media, the championship is not only the favorite, and there are many unexpected champions in history.
Every team is fighting for the title and they will give it their all to show their quality and spirit. And as fans, it is our responsibility to give them the greatest support and encouragement, no matter what difficulties and challenges they face.
