Sportsbooks and NBA fans were backing either the LA Lakers to defend their NBA championship and win their second consecutive NBA championship in 2021 or the Brooklyn Nets to become the new NBA Champions.
That’s not going to be the case as both teams crashed out and it will now be up to the Phoenix Suns or the Milwaukee Bucks to win the 2021 NBA Championship.

The Phoenix Suns surprised a lot of NBA fans including their own fans when they took down the LA Clippers in six games during the conference finals to book themselves a place in the 2021 NBA Championship finals. This is the first time since 1993 that the Suns have made it to the NBA finals. They will look to create history against the Bucks as they have never won an NBA Championship in the history of the competition.
Their opponents are the talented Milwaukee Bucks who won their conference finals in six games against the Atlanta Hawks. One big achievement for the Bucks was that they won game six without the presence of their biggest star Giannis Antetokounmpo who was out due to a knee injury. The Bucks have one NBA championship to their name which they won back in 1971. However, the Bucks have never made it to an NBA championship since 1974.
The two teams will battle it out in a 7 game series and the winner will become the 2021 NBA Champions. A lot of sportsbooks have given both teams equal odds before the start of the first game but some sportsbooks like BetOnline have given the Suns a slight edge.
The Phoenix Suns start out as slight favorites with odds of -190 while the Bucks go in as betting underdogs with odds of +165. The first game is set to take place on 06 July at 9 pm EST. The first two games the Bucks will travel to Phoenix while the next two games the Suns will travel to Milwaukee. If it goes past game 4 and we expect it to, then Game 5 the Bucks will play at Phoenix while Game 6 the Suns will play at Milwaukee. If it goes into Game 7, then the Bucks will travel to Phoenix.
Whoever wins Game 1, will have a big advantage when it comes to winning the 2021 NBA Championship.
