The 2021 NBA Finals are set to begin on Tuesday night and this is going to be a very fun series to watch! Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks are set to take on Chris Paul and the Phoenix Suns in what will be a thrilling, entertaining, and extremely close NBA Finals series.
There is very little that separates these two teams and the regular season proved this. Not only were they both two of four total teams in the league to finish inside the Top-10 in both offensive and defensive efficiency during the season, but the only difference between these two teams during the regular season was two total points.
Phoenix won both meetings during the regular season against Milwaukee, but they won the first game 125-124 and then won the second game 128-127 in overtime! In two high scoring games, the Suns came out victorious over the Bucks, but both of these games could have gone either way!
The only difference now compared to when these two teams met during the regular season is that Donte DiVincenzo is out for the Bucks. DiVincenzo suffered a tendon injury in his left foot during the Bucks’ first-round series against the Heat and as a result is out indefinitely.
