“Once upon a time, Dāvis Bertāns played in the finals of the Western Conference together with the Dallas Mavericks, but no Latvian has yet reached the grand finals. It is possible that history will be rewritten this season – bookmakers estimate the Celtics’ chances of winning the championship with a 20.8% probability title, but the chances of the “Bucks” are also assessed with the same probability. Last year’s champion “Nuggets” (18.2%) and “Suns” (15.4%) are also mentioned as the main competitors for the two heavyweights of the Eastern Conference. All four teams are are also mentioned as the main contenders for victory in the NBA Cup,” says the representative of Betsafe.
Boston had 57 regular season wins last season. Betsafe bookmakers are confident that at least 55 wins are expected in the new season, which experts rate with a 58.1% probability. Porzingis himself emphasized that he became much stronger in defense last season. With an average of 1.5 blocked shots, the Latvian shared the 9th to 11th place, while the best blocker at the time, Jaren Jackson Jr., averaged twice as much. The possibility that Porzingis will be the best blocker in the regular season is estimated at 1.6% probability, but the bookmakers estimate the probability of winning the best defensive player of the year award is only 1.2%.
Latvian national team player Dāvis Bertāns will represent NBA club Oklahoma City Thunder in the new season, which has not managed to enter the playoffs in the last three seasons, but bookmakers believe that this season will be different. Oklahoma City’s chances of being among the top eight teams in the Western Conference are estimated by bookmakers with a 58.1% probability. However, according to bookmakers, the team will win less than 45 victories, this is predicted with a probability of 57.1%.
