According to MyBookie they are -170 to win the championship and they are -5.5 point favorites to win the first game. If you are going to bet on the NBA Finals it will be important to track the odds and how they move before and during the season.

Will Giannis Antetokounmpo Play?

This is the biggest question of the NBA Finals. Entering the series, Antetokounmpo is listed as day-to-day. Coach Mike Budenholzer mentioned that Giannis has had some on-court work since his injury and that the Milwaukee Superstar is “dying to be out there”.

The Bucks are a much better team with Giannis in the lineup, but it looks as though the Bucks will wait to make a decision.

Without knowing the status of Giannis, it is difficult to make a prediction, but we have enough evidence to make a pick. The Bucks played valiantly without Giannis in the lineup against Atlanta. In fact, it allowed other role players like Robin Lopez and Bobby Portis to find their groove.

The Sun’s storyline will be all about Chris Paul and his trip to this first NBA Finals. Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton lead a talented young roster that will back him up and make this a very exciting series that will go back and forth.

Paul and the Suns will use the pick and roll to open up mismatches for the Hall of Famer point guard, but the Bucks have seen this before. Both games during the regular season were close ones with Phoenix winning both games by a combined two points.

Giannis will return to the lineup when needed, but this Bucks team is focused. Whether it is Khris Middleton or Jrue Holiday they are getting a maximum effort from every player. This effort and teamwork will win a championship over a younger Suns squad.
