1. Phoenix Suns Finish The Deal
The Phoenix Suns enter the NBA playoffs with the best odds of winning the NBA Championship. Anyone who thought that last season’s performance was a fluke, aided by the injuries of their opponents, has been proven wrong throughout the season.
Phoenix finished with the best record in the league and it wasn’t close. They went 64-18, finishing eight games ahead of the Memphis Grizzlies, who had the second-best record in the league in the regular season.
The Suns fell just short of the Larry O’Brien Trophy last year. They won the first two games of the series against the Milwaukee Bucks but lost four in a row as the Bucks became the second team in NBA history to overcome two 2-0 deficits to win a series and the fifth team to overcome such a deficit in the NBA Finals.
This year, the Suns will get the job done and become NBA Champions. They have been the most consistent team in the NBA and are entering the postseason about as healthy as they can be. It will culminate in the first championship in franchise history.
