With the NBA All-Star Break coming up in a few weeks, it is time to check back in on what Las Vegas oddsmakers expect as pretenders continue to be separated from contenders.
NBA全明星将在几周后拉开帷幕，是时候了解一下在拉斯维加斯的庄家眼中哪只球队能够脱颖而出，成为最有资格觊觎奥布莱恩杯的球队。
According to the most recent betting odds from Vegas Insider, one team is still a fairly heavy favorite to win the NBA Finals in June, and it is not a surprise which team holds the top spot.根据维加斯内部人员最新开出的赔率，有一支队伍将会是六月份豪取总冠军的最热门球队，并且它对榜首的霸占也并不令人惊讶。The Golden State Warriors are betting favorites to win their fourth championship in five years, with 2/5 odds.金州勇士坐拥2/5的赔率来夺得他们五年中的第四冠。They were at 5/9 odds back in December, during a period in which they were troubled by injuries to star players and sitting at the fourth place spot in the Western Conference.他们在十二月的赔率是5/9，在此期间他们被明星球员的伤势所困扰所以仅位列西部第四位。However, the Warriors got healthy, activated offseason acquisition Demarcus Cousins and proceeded to win 11 straight games. Golden State now sits atop the Western Conference with a 36-14 record.然而，勇士在休赛期收入的猛将考辛斯康复回归，一路高歌豪取11连胜。现在的金州幼儿园以36胜14负的战绩霸占西部榜首。Behind the Warriors are the Boston Celtics and Toronto Raptors, with identical 10/1 odds to win the Finals. Toronto is second in the east, while Boston is fifth, but both are fewer than five games back from first place with dozens of games left in the season.
排在勇士之后的则是波士顿凯尔特人以及多伦多猛龙，都有着10/1的赔率拿下总决赛。多伦多是东部地区的二当家，而绿衫军则排行老五，但是在赛季最后的几十场比赛中，这两者与东部第一仅有不到五场的差距。The Houston Rockets and Milwaukee Bucks both have 20/1 odds to win the Finals. The Rockets have surged thanks to James Harden's monstrous scoring streak, while young superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo has carried the Bucks to the top of the east with a 35-13 record.休斯顿火箭与密尔沃基雄鹿各有20/1的赔率捧起总冠军奖杯。火箭在詹姆斯哈登疯狂火力的输出下持续升空，而另一边年轻新星字母哥带领雄鹿以35胜13负的战绩领衔全东部。Finally, the Philadelphia 76ers have 30/1 odds to win it all. They could be held back by the lack of shooting from Ben Simmons and the ongoing absence of Markelle Fultz.最后，费城76人手握30/1的赔率。而他们可能会因为西蒙斯投射能力的欠缺以及富尔兹的持续缺席在前行道路上备受阻挠。Behind them are the Los Angeles Lakers, who have 40/1 odds. If LeBron James can stay healthy and they can acquire Anthony Davis, that could shake up the betting odds.排在他们后面的是有着40/1赔率的洛杉矶湖人队。如果勒布朗詹姆斯能够保持健康并能和安东尼戴维斯联手，那这将会极大地动摇后面的博彩几率。更多精彩内容请关注微信公众号、新浪微博：篮球英文堂
