May 5th, today is the last day of the May Day holiday. During this holiday, it is not friendly to Harden and James fans, because the Clippers and the Lakers have been eliminated. Now, only Curry is still working hard in the playoffs, but today is the tiebreaker of the Hokage. I don’t know if the Warriors can win. The era of Jamduhaku seems to be over. Today the league has updated the latest chance of winning the championship, let’s take a look.

The Ninth Warriors

The Warriors were considered the top five in the championship by the US media, but now they are bitten by the Rockets until the tiebreak, and now they are not optimistic. Now the US media believes that the Warriors' probability of winning the championship is only 1.2%, which means that they are not even optimistic about being able to eliminate the Rockets. This is understandable. The three-core cores are too old, and now the Rockets seem to have found a way to deal with them. If they are eliminated, the Warriors should find a suitable big center in the offseason. The offensive system of the team of the Eighth Pacers may be one of the best in the league, but his problem is also very obvious. If Halliburton plays at the star level, they will be a team in the division final level. If Halliburton performs abnormally, it will probably be difficult for them to cross the Cavaliers. Halliburton's performance is not stable due to a hamstring injury. Their probability of winning the championship is only 1.5%, and the battle between them and the Cavaliers is worth looking forward to in the second round.

The Seventh Nuggets

Although the Nuggets eliminated the Clippers in the tiebreak, they have to face more cruel challenges next time. The team just finished the tiebreak, and Jokic's physical fitness has reached its limit. They will challenge the Thunder in the next round. The Thunder has long eliminated the Grizzlies. Now they have abundant physical fitness, and the Thunder is also stronger in paper strength. The Nuggets' probability of winning the championship is only 1.6%. The US media is not optimistic that they can cross the Thunder in the second round.

The sixth Knicks eliminated the Pistons in the first round. Although the team defeated the opponent 4-2, both sides played to the end of each game. If the Pistons were not too young, they might have played in tiebreak in this round of series. The advantages and disadvantages of the Knicks have been fully exposed. Their advantage is that the starting lineup is luxurious enough, and the disadvantage is that the substitutes are too poor. The team has always relied on the core, and the physical fitness and condition are difficult to guarantee. Their probability of winning the championship is 1.6% like the Nuggets.

The Fifth Rockets

The Rockets were behind the Warriors 1-3, and they won two games in a row. Uduka adjusted their defensive strategy in every quarter, which also brought them a very high lower limit. Now young players are no longer afraid of Curry and Butler. You have dual cores, and we can bloom more points. The Rockets' probability of winning the championship is 1.7%. Although they are more optimistic than the Warriors, they are not very advantageous. They probably have no advantage in the second round. After all, the team's offense is too unstable.

The fourth Timberwolves

After eliminating the Lakers, the Timberwolves have received more recognition. The advantages and disadvantages of this team are also very obvious. They have athleticism and excellent defensive ability. They can fight against any lineup, but their shortcomings are also very obvious. They rely too much on Edwards' offense. Randall, you can't expect him to play like he is against the Lakers in every round of the series. After all, not every team does not have a center.

The Third Celtics

This is a favorite team to win the championship. The Celtics were still the top two favorites to win the championship. It is probably because of Holiday's injury and Porzingis' poor performance in the playoffs. Therefore, the Celtics are not optimistic about being able to win the championship. Their probability of winning the championship is 14%. Although the probability of winning the championship is higher than the above teams, they are also regarded as inferior and not considered able to break out of the division. The Double Tenhua is actually very strong. I think they should enter the top two, and it is underestimated in this position.

The Second Cavaliers

The Cavaliers showed too strong dominance in the first round. They defeated the Heat without even exerting their full strength in the first round. The advantages and disadvantages of this team have not been exposed yet. They have four All-Star players at the peak, as well as excellent substitutes like Jerome and Hunter. The offensive firepower of this team is very terrifying, and their core is healthy enough. It seems that only the Celtics can fight them in the entire East. Their probability of winning the championship is considered to be 24.5%, which is very high.

The first Thunder

The Thunder have been favored since the playoffs. Like the Cavaliers, they have not exposed their shortcomings until now. After all, they are too strong. They play at the top on both offense and defense. They are talented and have a lineup. There is also a top star in the top five levels of the league. They have all the championship configurations. Therefore, their probability of winning is considered to be as high as 49.3%. It seems that the biggest shortcoming of this team may be that they lack experience. However, the introduction of veterans like Caruso, even if the Thunder fails to win the championship this season, their future ceiling is worth looking forward to.
