The 2021 NBA Finals is one of the most unexpected matchups in recent league history. And, at the moment, the Phoenix Suns-Milwaukee Bucks showdown is one of the most difficult to predict.
The biggest reason? Two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, who injured his left knee in Game 4 of the Bucks' Eastern Conference finals series against the Atlanta Hawks, is doubtful for Game 1. If the five-time All-Star is healthy enough to make an impact on the floor, Milwaukee's chances at its first NBA title since 1971 are boosted.
