NBA has entered, which also means that the new championship cycle has also begun. Last season, the NBA caused a lot of accidents due to midway suspension. In contrast, next season will be more complete, so the number of championship teams will also increase. Especially after seeing the success of the Lakers and the Heat, the teams have seen the shortcut to the championship, that is, to change the fate of the team by acquiring big-name players, but not every team has such good luck. There are other factors that will influence the race for the title.
At present, the NBA winning odds for next season have been officially announced. It should be noted that this is only the opinion of one of the institutions, and it is a prediction of the current situation, and subsequent operations have not been considered, so it is for reference only. Surprisingly, of the four teams that reached the conference finals last season, only one team still ranked in the top 5. That is the Lakers. The Lakers ranked first with +325, and the possibility of a successful defending next season. great. After all, the combination of James and thick eyebrows is the biggest guarantee, and the lineup is deep enough.
ranked 2nd to 5th are the Clippers (+425), Warriors (+500), Bucks (+550) and Nets (+1000). The Clippers and Bucks unexpectedly missed the conference finals last season, but this does not mean that the two teams do not have the ability to compete for the title. As for the Warriors and the Nets were affected by injuries, neither side did their best last season. Next season, the Warriors' Thompson + Curry, and the Nets' Durant + Irving will stir the league.
As for the Nuggets who made the Western Conference Finals last season, the odds of winning the championship next season are only +2000, and they are tied for 10th. Hope is not particularly high. And the issue of Millsap's stay will greatly affect the Nuggets' combat effectiveness, and the growth rate of young players is also related to the team's upper limit. As for the two teams that reached the Eastern Conference Finals last season, in this prediction, none of them entered the top 5 candidates to win the championship next season.
The Heat ranked 7th with +1500. There are two main reasons why it is so low. First, the Heat’s lineup may not be able to keep it, Dragic and others have the opportunity to get big contracts, the Heat’s salary space is not so sufficient; second, when the outside world pays attention to the Heat as a dark horse, their absolute talent is not So high, the reason why he was able to rush out of the East last season has a lot to do with the special competition system.
finally come to see the Celtics, the greens next season's odds of winning the championship is +1100, ranked sixth, higher than the Heat. The Celtics’ performance last season has been outstanding enough, and the team’s core lineup is still very young and the future is immeasurable. However, the Celtics always seem to be some distance away from the peak, which may also have a certain relationship with the young lineup. A veteran similar to Iguodala needs to be added. In summary, the team with the worst decline in the top 4 last season was the Nuggets, and only the defending champion Lakers were truly superior.
