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.
