Storylines
Suns: They have had an extremely impressive run in the postseason so far, but it’s impossible not to acknowledge the luck that they’ve had when it comes to opponent injury issues. They were able to advance past the Lakers in the first round after Anthony Davis went down, then beat the Nuggets without their second-best player in Jamal Murray in the second round, and their victory over the Clippers in the Western Conference finals came with Kawhi Leonard on the sideline for the entirety of the series. Had Leonard played, that series might have turned out very differently. It will be interesting to see if Phoenix’s stretch of luck continues in the Finals, as the Bucks could potentially be without their best player, at least to start. If their luck doesn’t continue and two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo is able to play, we will get to see how they perform against a team at full strength for the first time this postseason.
Bucks: For the Bucks, the health of Antetokounmpo is the central storyline. He missed the final two games of the Eastern Conference finals against the Atlanta Hawks after suffering a knee injury in Game 4 of the series, and his status for the Finals is not known at this point. The Bucks were able to take care of business against Atlanta without Antetokounmpo, but it will be much more difficult to do so against a well-balanced Suns squad. In order to defeat Phoenix, the Bucks will need Antetokounmpo to be near the peak of his powers, and for him to put consistent pressure on the Suns’ defense, If he’s close to full health, the Bucks will have a great chance of winning. If not, the advantage swings to the Suns.
