Game 1 of the 2021 NBA Finals is on Tuesday night out in the desert as the Suns host the Bucks. Giannis Antetokounmpo is doubtful to play in Game 1 despite making “good progress” in his return from a hyperextended knee, and it’s unclear just when he’ll return. His status will obviously be something to watch, and for now, I have to give the Suns the clear advantage in this series because of the injury. The betting markets seem to agree.
I’m assuming Giannis will be back at some point, but who knows just what he’ll look like.
