NBA playoffs series probabilities for 2017, first two rounds

By Dr. Ed Feng Leave a Comment

These predictions combine my team rankings based on margin of victory in games with data from the markets.

These are series win probabilities for the second round of the 2017 NBA playoffs. The Boston prediction contains data from Game 1 against Washington on Sunday, April 30th, although it doesn’t consider that Boston won that game.

Utah vs Golden State.
Golden State has a 85.0 percent chance of winning the series.

Houston vs San Antonio.
San Antonio has a 66.9 percent chance of winning the series.

Washington vs Boston.
Boston has a 62.3 percent chance of winning the series.

Toronto vs Cleveland.
Cleveland has a 60.6 percent chance of winning the series.

These series probabilities for the first round of the 2017 playoffs were posted prior to the start of the playoffs.

Portland vs Golden State.
Golden State has a 95.7 percent chance of winning the series.
