Injuries before would happen based on playing in the game and age. It is now more realisticly tied to activity within the game. So big men that score, rebound, and play a lot of minutes are going to be more injury prone.
How injuries are handled during the playoffs has also been improved. The rest period between games makes it so the risk of injury is less. Also, the recovery in term of games is also less, given that there is greater spacing between games than during the regular season.
Another key thing is players now will benefit from having played together. So the older and more experienced teams should have an edge.
One result of all of these changes is the odds of a #8 seed upsetting a #1 seed in the playoffs should be less likely now. A significant cause of that has been injuries being treated as if it was still the regular season. So a slew of minor injuries for a few games could cause a #8 seed to upset a #1 seed. Now these players should more realisticly be able to heal and get back in time to prevent the series from being lost.
