East is not a two-man hegemony three teams is expected to impact the championship

ESPN expert Neil Johnson published an article analysis pointed out that according to ESPN basketball Power Index (Basketball Power Index), the NBA Eastern League in addition to the current 16-win Celtic and the Cavaliers have won the Eastern Conference three times before In addition, there are three other teams that have the power to impact Eastern Conference champions, namely the Raptors, the Wizards and the Pistons. The following is an analysis of ESPN article:

1, Toronto Raptors

The Raptors have been a little disappointed over the Cavaliers led by LeBron James over the past two seasons. However, the Raptors have started pretty well this season, winning 11 of their first 16 games. According to ESPN basketball strength index, the Raptors this season so far the 23.1% probability of winning the Eastern Conference championship, according to this strength index, the Raptors this season's regular season to win 56 victories, the winning percentage will be at After the Warriors, Celtics and Rockets, ranked fourth in the league.

According to ESPN basketball strength index, the Raptors shooting quality can be ranked fourth, and their pitcher influence is ranked third in the league. This means that the Raptors are fourth in the league in shooting options and their pitcher strength ranks third in the league. The result is that the Raptors can rank third in the league in offense.

Up to the current season, the Raptors have been ranked sixth in the league in terms of team toughness and their remaining schedule is second best in the league. According to ESPN basketball strength index analysis, the Raptors this season, 73.1% chance of eventually ranking second in the east, and they reached the NBA Finals probability is 30.5%.

2, Washington Wizards

The Wizards this season's start playing tepid, their previous schedule is the second of the league easy. According to ESPN basketball strength index, we expect the Wizards this season after the regular season record will be 49 wins and 33 losses, ranking third in the east.

For the Wizards, although it is not yet time to ring the alarm, but Wizards up to now in the end what is not doing well enough? Their defensive rebounding success rate is only 76.5%, which ranks eighth in the league in the bottom, and the third is the Wizards' three-point-three shooting percentage.

Like any other competing team, the Wizards must be careful about their current position on the standings. Cleveland may not even have the possibility to worry about whether they have the home court advantage in the playoffs, so the Eastern Conference team playoff knuckle in the first round is probably not ideal. However, if the Wizards play correctly their hand, they still have a good chance of hitting the Eastern Conference champions.

3, Detroit Pistons

Yes, when we talk about this topic, the Pistons really are a dark horse. According to the current ESPN basketball strength index, we predict the Pistons this season's regular season record will be 45 wins and 37 losses, Stan - Van Gundy's team apparently has reversed the decline. In the preseason, we predicted in the ESPN basketball strength index that the Pistons' regular season record of 39 wins and 43 losses this season, when we did not expect the Pistons to play so far hit 9-7 record.

Drummond's free throw skills soared and they have a good record so far this season have a certain relationship, not only that, his overall game skills have improved a grade. In addition to the free throw percentage hit a career high, Drummond's offensive rebounds up to now the success rate and assists rate also hit a career high. Overall, while the Pistons have not played an impressive pace of play and have not played well in net-win efficiency, they clearly emphasize ball-handling rates. By the end of the season, Pistons have been ranked sixth in the league in offensive rebounding success and eighth in the league in offensive rebounding protection. In addition, the Pistons' turnover rate is the seventh-lowest in the league.

The Pistons' ease of play so far this season is modest, so this is a good sign that the Pistons are likely to be able to play consistently well in these more than a dozen games. Pistons fans this season may be able to enjoy the playoffs happy time, and in the previous nine seasons, the Pistons only once reached the playoffs. According to ESPN basketball strength index forecast, the Pistons have a 10.1% chance of reaching the Eastern Conference finals.
