Western Conference Finals
Nuggets vs. Mavericks – Mavericks in 6
NBA Finals
Bucks vs. Mavericks – Bucks in 7
The addition of Damian Lillard just proves to be too much for the rest of the league. His shot making ability and late game heroics are two things the Bucks were desperately missing. Giannis Antetokounmpo won’t have to carry the entire load and teams won’t be able to solely focus on him.
Their depth outside of Dame and Giannis is loaded and possibly the best supporting cast in the league. The Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks should give them two great series and a lot of different looks, but they will come out on top.
NBA Finals MVP: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks
Regular season MVP: Jayson Tatum, Boston Celtics
Rookie of the Year: Victor Wembanyama, San Antonio Spurs
