It may not be the matchup anyone anticipated, but the drama surrounding the 2021 NBA Finals — which will feature the No. 2 seed Phoenix Suns and No. 3 Milwaukee Bucks — is no less compelling.
The final two franchises standing will clash in Game 1 of the 2021 NBA Finals on Tuesday night in Arizona.
Finals MVP frontrunner Chris Paul and sharpshooter Devin Booker will lead the charge for Phoenix, which will make its first appearance in the NBA Finals since Charles Barkley and company fell to Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls in 1993.
Out of the Eastern Conference, the Bucks will attempt to secure the franchise's second title, and first since 1971, when Kareem-Abdul Jabbar and Oscar Robertson swept the Baltimore Bullets.
Unfortunately for Milwaukee, the team may be without star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo for at least the beginning of the best-of-seven series.
In light of Antetokounmpo's injury, Phoenix is a -235 favorite to win Tuesday, and the -195 favorite to hoist the Larry O'Brien Trophy.
ABC will televise every game of the 2021 NBA Finals, with Mike Breen the play-by-play commentator for his 16th Finals series. Analysts Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson will join Breen as part of the primary broadcast team, and Malika Andrews will report from the sideline.
ESPN Radio coverage will feature Doris Burke, Jon Barry, and play-by-play announcer Marc Kestecher.
