The Milwaukee Bucks enter the Eastern Conference Finals as heavy favorites against the Atlanta Hawks, marking their second conference finals appearance in three seasons. With home-court advantage and Giannis Antetokounmpo's dominant offensive presence, the Bucks have a clear edge. While Atlanta's Trae Young continues his impressive playoff run, the Hawks' cinderella story likely ends here as Milwaukee advances.

In the Western Conference Finals, the Phoenix Suns hold a 1-0 series lead after a 120-114 victory over the LA Clippers. Key storylines include:

  • Both teams missing stars (Chris Paul - health protocols, Kawhi Leonard - knee injury)
  • Devin Booker's 40-point performance in Game 1
  • Suns' elite defense and +40% three-point shooting
  • Paul George's 34 points for the Clippers in Game 1
  • Phoenix riding an 8-game playoff win streak

Despite the Clippers' projected two wins, the Suns are expected to close out the series in six games, powered by their defensive prowess and home-court shooting advantage.
