The Phoenix Suns have advanced from the Western Conference finals.
Now, only the Milwaukee Bucks or Atlanta Hawks stand between the Phoenix Suns and an NBA title. While these opponents are talented, both present manageable paths to the championship for the Suns.
If the Phoenix Suns face the Atlanta Hawks, they will be significant favorites. The Hawks lack the top-tier talent needed to win a championship, especially with their star point guard, Trae Young, limited with an ankle injury.
If the 5th-seeded Atlanta Hawks pulled off an upset against the Phoenix Suns, they would be the lowest-seeded team to win a championship in 25 years.
