In the latest edition of NBA Prediction Week, Nick Wright predicts that the Milwaukee Bucks will prevail over the Miami Heat to advance to the NBA Finals.
NBA analysts Wright and Chris Broussard of Fox Sports 1 believe that the Heat will fall in the conference finals in the latest prediction of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Wright said on an episode of First Things First,
“I’m going with the two teams that have been the two best teams in the East since LeBron James left the conference, the Milwaukee Bucks over the Miami Heat.”
Wright pointed out that the Heat would win over the Celtics in the second round before falling to the Bucks. Also added superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo and guard Damian Lillard are finally on the same page, they are among the league’s
best duos.
On that note he mentioned,
“I think Milwaukee is right now being a victim of expectations. Giannis is at worst the second-best player in the NBA and having maybe the best season of his career. Dame seems to be a little more comfortable.”
While Wright had picked the Bucks to knock off the Heat, Broussard thinks the Boston Celtics will represent the East in the Finals. He said on First Things First,
“This will be the rubber match. They’ve faced each other the last two years in the conference finals, both in seven games. Each team has won one. I think Boston gets them this year … They’ve been the best team by a mile in the East this year.”
