On May 13th, Beijing time, there are two games in today's playoffs, in which the Nuggets defeated the Timberwolves and the Knicks lost to the Pacers, after these two games, most of the teams in the second round have played 3-4 games, and the advantages and disadvantages of each team are also very obvious.

Knicks Pacers

After today's win, the Pacers and the Knicks have played 2-2, the Pacers have won two games in a row, although the Pacers are a youth army, their experience is insufficient, but the Knicks' problems are known to everyone, they have fought to the point that there is almost no one, Anunoby may not be able to return in the next game, Randle, Bojan and Miro's three core rotation has also been reimbursed for the season due to injury, and the team is now only supported by Brunson, Hart and DiVincenzo.

But judging from the past two games, Brunson is no longer good, he has been playing with injuries, and his state has declined seriously, Hart and DiVincenzo are also due to the team's death, and now their physical fitness is insufficient, while the Pacers are full of energy, their roster is thicker, and healthier, if the Knicks' home whistle is not too biased in this series, then the Pacers are a high probability of advancing, and they are lucky to reach the Eastern Conference finals in the first season of their rise, of course, the Knicks players also tried their best.

Knight Celtic

The big score between the Cavaliers and the Celtics in this round of the series is the Cavaliers 1-2 Green Army, the Cavaliers were able to win that game because they broke out with all of them, and now the Green Army also has a strategy against the Cavaliers, they began to let Mitchell play alone, restricting others from attacking, although Mitchell is strong, but he can't kill a team alone, and the Green Army also has four stars, it is obviously unrealistic to want one person to blow them up, and the Cavaliers also know the shortcomings of the Green Army, but they can't target it.

The biggest problem for the Celtics is the inside, after Porzingis was injured, Horford was too old, and his physical strength couldn't last three quarters, so the Green Army's interior defense was very tired, and this also allowed Mobley to seize the opportunity, he has scored 17+ points in three consecutive games, but it is still difficult to win the Green Army with such firepower, if Allen is here, maybe the Cavaliers still have a chance, but Allen is injured, and the Green Army has enough stars to increase their margin for error, This round of the series is estimated to be over in 6 games.

Timberwolves Nuggets

After the Nuggets won today, the score of the two sides came to 2-2, both sides won two wins on each other's home court, and now the Nuggets have regained the home court advantage, but as far as their level of team is concerned, the home court advantage is not very important, the pertinence is the most important, the Timberwolves have been caught by the Nuggets, and now the Nuggets are using Jokic's advantage to crush the Timberwolves' interior line, their three towers were beaten into toys by Jokic, and none of them can carry Jokic.

Although the Nuggets can't prevent Edwards, but if the Nuggets hit Edwards, his teammates can't stand up, but if the Timberwolves sandwich Jokic, their shooters are very stable, the defending champions have found the state and execution they deserve, facing the first person in the league, the Timberwolves are also a little difficult, maybe the two sides may hit the tie-break, but the final winner will most likely be the Nuggets, after all, the Timberwolves are too bad inside.

Lone Ranger Thunder

The series between the Thunder and the Mavericks, now the big score between the two sides is the Thunder 1-2 Mavericks, although the previous two Mavericks won were narrowly won, but they were able to maintain a slight lead to the end also shows their strength, the Mavericks have Irving and Doncic level control players, they can use their individual ability to stabilize the situation, while the Thunder is lacking such players, except for Alexander, other players have little playoff experience.

And judging from the past few games, the Mavericks have played the shortcomings of the Thunder, they don't have qualified forward players, so this also allows PJ Washington to seize the opportunity, Washington has scored a total of 56 points in the past two games, and the Mavericks also have an advantage on the inside, he relied on excellent offensive rebounds and seized more opportunities to punish the opponent's interior. The Thunder team has a lot of talent, although they are the first in the West, but the playoffs are different from the regular season, young people always have to pay tuition, and it is already very good that they can reach the second round.

If there are no other uncontrollable factors such as injuries in the future, it is likely that the Nuggets, Mavericks, Pacers and Celtics will advance to the division finals, and generally speaking, the team that can reach the division finals every season must be one of the best teams in the division, and also one of the healthiest teams in the division. Speaking of which, what do you have to say about these 4 sets of matchups? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
