The probability of winning the NBA Cup is released: the Rockets are at the bottom with 5%, the Lakers are third with 8%, and the first is as high as 30%!

On November 10th, several teams have already played two games in the NBA Cup. Now it seems that Group C in the Western Conference may be the most intense. This group includes the Trail Blazers, Nuggets, Rockets, Warriors and Spurs. They are all the top ten teams in the Western Conference. It is estimated that it will take a lot of skin to make it out of the group. Recently, the US media analyzed the winning probability of the teams that can win the NBA Cup this season based on the strength of each team's opponents, divisional advantages, etc. Let's take a look at it. Is it reasonable?

Seventh Rockets

The probability of the Rockets is 5%. Just now we also talked about the horror of Group C in the Western Conference. To be honest, I think it will not be easy for the Rockets to break out of Group C. They have already lost a group match before, but the Nuggets, who seem to be the strongest in Group C, have also suffered a defeat. The Rockets still have hope. The Rockets have top defensive capabilities and a group of outstanding talents, which gives them a very high ceiling, but the shortcomings of this team are also obvious. Facing a team with strong frame protection, it is difficult for Amen and Shen Jing to perform as they should.

The Sixth Nuggets

The Nuggets are also at 5%. Group C is the group of death. In the predictions given by the US media this time, three teams of their group were on the list, which is enough to show the gold content of this group. The Nuggets' current record is 1 win and 1 loss, and they also suffered one defeat. However, their signings in the offseason have been very successful. The team's offense and defense are now among the best in the league. Since the start of the season, the Nuggets have ranked first in the league in offensive efficiency and second in defensive efficiency. Jokic is still the league's number one player, and Murray and Gordon are also in excellent shape this season.

The fifth Knicks

The Knicks are 6%. The Knicks have the advantage in the group. Although they currently have 0 wins and 1 loss in the group stage, their opponents are the Bulls, Bucks, Heat, and Hornets. As long as the Knicks can perform stably, they It's not a big problem for them to beat these teams. The Knicks lost before because they were still adapting to Mike Brown's offensive system. As the season progresses, they will become stronger and stronger. Towns has reduced his power on the offensive end this season. This is also the reason why the Knicks' performance is not ideal. But with four cores, the team's lower limit is too high.

Fourth Warriors

The Warriors are 6%. The Warriors are the third team in Group C of the Western Conference. Although the Warriors' record so far is not ideal, it is mainly due to Curry's injury and the rotation of other core veterans. If they go head-to-head, they are not afraid of anyone. They have defeated the Nuggets before (non-NBA Cup games). The Warriors have 0 wins and 1 loss in the group stage so far. If they can play with their entire core in the next group stage, the team still has hope of making it out of the division. This season, the Warriors' young players have also begun to realize their talents, and their lineup is top-tier.

The third Lakers

The probability of the Lakers is 8%. The Lakers have the advantage of the group. They are in Group B, and their opponents are the Clippers, Pelicans, Grizzlies and Mavericks. Everyone has seen the performance of these teams this season, and they are basically on the verge of collapse. Fate, although the Lakers are currently in a remnant formation, they still have a chance to defeat these opponents in the group. So far in the group stage, the Lakers have 1 win and 0 losses. When Xiaoli and James return one after another, the Lakers have the ability to break out of the group, and their core players have very good hard-hitting and organizational skills, which also makes it difficult to limit the Lakers' offense.

Second Cavaliers

The probability of the Cavaliers is 9%. There is no top team in the Eastern Group A where the Cavaliers are located. However, the Cavaliers have encountered Waterloo before. They now have 1 win and 1 loss. The highest ranking in this group is the Raptors, with 2 wins and 0 losses. However, there is no such thing. So-called, even if the Cavaliers did not directly break out of the group in the end, based on their strength, it is only a matter of time before they reach the top of the Eastern Conference. Therefore, the Cavaliers still have a chance to get a wild card to advance. Recently, the Cavaliers have all returned, and they have found their due form. Recently, they have won 4 consecutive victories and are the most popular team in the Eastern Conference.

First Thunder

The Thunder's probability is 30%. So far in the NBA Cup, the Thunder's record is 1 win and 0 losses. His group, the Timberwolves, can put some pressure on them. Others are nothing to be afraid of. Jay Wei has been absent since the start of the game. Under the circumstances, the Thunder have achieved a record of 9 wins and 1 loss and are simply unstoppable. This team has shown the heritage of the defending champion. They have an excellent system and good resilience. Moreover, Mitchell has also played well this season. When Jay Wei returns, their lineup strength will be even more terrifying.

After the NBA Cup promotion game, there is a knockout game. Although there is great uncertainty in a game, the strong teams will go all out for the prize money, so it is difficult for the underdogs to upset. The teams that have won the NBA Cup in the past two years are all teams with top stars, such as the Lakers and Bucks. It is worth mentioning that the Bucks have not lost in the group stage since the NBA Cup. However, it is probably difficult to win the cup this season because now the team only has a single core.

Having said that, what do you want to say about the predictions of the US media this time? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
