Easily eliminated the Lakers 4-1 and lost to the Timberwolves 3-4, and the defending champion Nuggets' playoff journey this year ended early. For 5 consecutive seasons, no team has been able to complete the feat of consecutive championships, which also shows that the NBA has completely entered the era of a hundred flowers, and there is no super team at the level of cosmic bravery, and everyone has the opportunity to compete for a championship. With only four teams left in the NBA for the final match, who is stronger between them? After the Nuggets were out, foreign media updated the probability of winning the championship: 18.3% for the Timberwolves, as high as 53.6% for the first team

Walkers6.4%

Being able to reach the Eastern Conference finals is already completely beyond expectations for the Pacers, who originally had low expectations for a team like them, which is strong in offense and weak in defense, and very young. However, Siakam's arrival did raise the team's ceiling, averaging 21.1 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game in the playoffs, a team-high scoring and rebounding, and he is more experienced than anyone else. Regardless of the outcome, the Pacers' first priority in the offseason is to negotiate a contract extension with Sika.

Timberwolves18.3%

The biggest advantage of the Wolves is not Edwards, but the three-high configuration on the inside, Gobert is good at defense, Reed is good at attacking, and Downs's performance this year can be said to be both offensive and defensive. So the Timberwolves will definitely put a lot of pressure on the Mavericks' paint area, but the Mavericks don't have the right twin towers to deal with, especially if Kleber is still injured. Of course, Edwards must also play at the level of the first two rounds, otherwise he will not be able to match Doncic's strength. The Timberwolves also have home-court advantage, and the series G1 will kick off in Minnesota.

Solo rangers 21.7%

At present, it seems that the NBA's official website and ESPN are more optimistic that the Mavericks can advance. Because Doncic and Irving are the strongest backcourt combination in the league, the two can score fifty or sixty points in a game, and they ensure the basic handicap of the Mavericks. Of course the team wants to go further, others have to step up, and the likes of Washington and Gafford have been very good. The Mavericks' defense is also underrated, conceding just two fewer points per game than the Timberwolves, and the forwards and centers are defensive stalwarts, while Doncic and Irving are also underrated. Finally, many people are optimistic that Doncic and Irving have the ability to train Gobert, which could be a key point in the series.

Celtics53.6%

The current situation is too favorable for the Celtics, in the first two rounds, they were easily advanced 4-1, and there was not much consumption, and Porzingis's injury was also improved earlier and will return in the Eastern Conference Finals. In terms of strength, the Green Army is much better than the Pacers, and it is entirely possible that they will advance again and then sit back and watch the Tigers fight, waiting for the Mavericks and Timberwolves to fight each other and reap the benefits. And with 64 wins in the regular season, the Green Army has a home-court advantage in the Finals. From an empirical point of view, the Green Army, which has played in the Finals and multiple Eastern Conference finals in recent years, is also better than other teams.
