The Milwaukee Bucks and New York Knicks are expected to play the Phoenix Suns in the 2024 NBA Finals.
The Milwaukee Bucks and New York Knicks are expected to play the Phoenix Suns in the 2024 NBA Finals. The Phoenix Suns are predicted by ESPN's Bobby Marks and Jamal Collier to make it to the NBA Finals in 2023–2024. Collier believes the Suns will play the Milwaukee Bucks, but Marks has them playing the New York Knicks. The article was titled "Star power versus roster continuity," by Marks. Absolutely, I have both clubs marked as my early favorites to win each conference in June. The two rosters were constructed in completely different ways. The lavish Suns made a big splash in February when they acquired Kevin Durant, then in June they grabbed Bradley Beal. Conversely, the Knicks have adopted a more cautious strategy, bringing back 13 players after their second-round loss to Miami and adding just Donte DiVincenzo in free agency." May 7, 2023, in Phoenix, Arizona, game four of an NBA Western Conference semifinal matchup with the Denver Nuggets.Further Rematching the 2021 finals, which Milwaukee won in six games, would pit the Bucks against each other. "With a full offseason and regular season to play together, the Suns' overwhelming star power should find a way to develop an identity," Collier stated. "And (Giannis) Antetokounmpo and the Bucks have something to prove after their early playoff exit last season." On October 24, the Suns take on Golden State in the NBA's opening night of 2023–24.
Super 16: Before the deadline, trade assets for teams vying for the playoffs
Super 16: Before the deadline, trade assets for teams vying for the playoffs Power rankings voters recommend those who should be moved. Due to their five-game winning streak, the New York Rangers have moved up four spots to No. 5 in the Super 16 power rankings this week. If they can pull it off before the 2024 NHL Trade Deadline on March 8, they should also be buyers. They are, of course, not isolated. The majority of the teams listed here are aware that they wish to be purchasers. Some remain divided. But what are their trading assets? Do they currently have any players on their rosters that they would be willing to trade? Is it limited to prospects and picks? The Super 16 delved into specifics last week regarding what each rated club could accomplish before the deadline. This week's Super 16, which is once again topped by the Vancouver Canucks and the Boston Bruins at No. 2, delves into operating expenses. Remind yourself that each week the voters create their own version of the rankings and distribute points to each team. The team voted first receives 16 points, followed by teams ranked second, third, and so forth. First place Vancouver Canucks (36-12-6)…

Lessons learned: The Bruins’ power play fails in the shootout defeat.
Lessons learned: The Bruins' power play fails in the shootout defeat. Boston wasted a chance to pull away from the rival Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday, going 0–6 with the man advantage. On February 13, 2024, in Boston, at TD Garden, Brayden Point #21 of the Tampa Bay Lightning defeats Linus Ullmark #35 of the Boston Bruins with the game's lone goal in the shootout. The Bruins' performance against the Lightning on Tuesday night wasn't exactly the same as their 4-0 victory over the Canucks, who lead the Western Conference, last week. Still, it was a big step up from their lackluster performances against the Flames and Capitals, two teams that could make the Draft lottery, following the All-Star break. Their two stinkers yielded a slightly better outcome in the end. However, Jim Montgomery's team was still one point short of winning another comeback game. Thanks to a basket by Charlie McAvoy and a James van Riemsdyk rebound, the Bruins overcame a 2-0 deficit. In his 1,000th career game, Brad Marchand recorded primary assists on offensive second-effort situations. The Bruins appeared to be the superior team in 5v5. At even strength, their lone mistake occurred on the opening shot of the match, a 3:21-in shot from Erik Cernak that slipped past Linus Ullmark. On the other hand, Boston's special teams seldom clicked. A typically dependable Bruins penalty kill was overpowered by a quick Lightning power play. Following strong net-front play around Ullmark's crease, Nikita Kucherov, the most dangerous player on Tampa's strong man advantage, pounced to extend the Bolts' lead to 2-0. Tampa went 1 for 3 on the power play, and the Bruins were unable to respond.…
