Who Will Win the NBA Finals in 2021?
Contents
We’re still a few months away from the 2021 NBA Finals, but that doesn’t mean we can’t start making predictions. Who do you think will come out on top?
Los Angeles Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers are looking like the team to beat in the NBA this season. They have the best record in the league and are coming off a championship win in 2020. The Lakers also have two of the best players in the league in LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
The other team that looks like a contender for the NBA title is the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks have the best record in the Eastern Conference and are led by one of the best players in the league, Giannis Antetokounmpo.
So, who will win the NBA Finals in 2021? It is tough to say, but it looks like it could be either the Lakers or Bucks.
Milwaukee Bucks
The Milwaukee Bucks are one of the favorites to win the NBA Finals in 2021. They have the best record in the league and are led by reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks also have a deep and talented roster that includes players like Khris Middleton, Eric Bledsoe, and Brook Lopez. They will be a tough team to beat in the playoffs.
Brooklyn Nets
The Brooklyn Nets are one of the favorites to win the NBA Finals in 2021. The Nets have one of the best records in the NBA and have been one of the most consistent teams all season. The Nets also have two of the best players in the NBA in Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. The Nets have all the pieces to make a run at the NBA Finals and they will be a tough team to beat.
Los Angeles Clippers
The Los Angeles Clippers are one of the favorites to win the NBA Finals in 2021. They have one of the best records in the league and are led by two superstars in Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. The Clippers also have a deep bench that can score points and play defense.
The Clippers will most likely face the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals. The Lakers are also one of the favorites to win the NBA Finals. They have the best record in the league and are led by two superstars in LeBron James and Anthony Davis. The Lakers also have a deep bench that can score points and play defense.
The Clippers and Lakers are both great teams, but the Clippers appear to have a slight edge over the Lakers. The Clippers have a better record, two superstar players, and a deeper bench. These factors should help them win the Western Conference Finals and advance to the NBA Finals.
Philadelphia 76ers
The Philadelphia 76ers are a professional basketball team based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The 76ers compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the league’s Eastern Conference Atlantic Division and play at the Wells Fargo Center. Founded in 1946 and originally known as the Syracuse Nationals, they are one of the oldest teams in the NBA, and one of only eight (out of 23) to survive the league’s first decade.
The Sixers have had a checkered history, but they’ve been to the NBA Finals nine times, winning three championships (1955, 1967, and 1983). They last won a playoff series in 2012, and haven’t been back to the Finals since 2001.
This year’s team is led by Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons, and Tobias Harris. They’re a young team with a lot of potential, but they haven’t quite put it all together yet. They finished third in the East this year with a 49-23 record.
In the first round of the playoffs, they easily dispatched the Washington Wizards in five games. In the second round, they faced off against Kawhi Leonard and the Toronto Raptors. The Raptors arethe defending champions and had home-court advantage, but the Sixers won in seven games.
In the Conference Finals, they’ll take on LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavs are also a young team with a lot of potential, but they struggled during the regular season and only made it to sixth place in the East. However, they’ve been playing better lately and they have LeBron James on their side.
The Sixers are favored to win this series, but it should be a close one. If they can make it past LeBron and the Cavs, they’ll have a good chance at winning their first NBA championship since 1983.
Denver Nuggets
The Denver Nuggets have had an up-and-down season, but they have the potential to make a deep run in the playoffs. They have a balanced roster with a mix of veteran experience and young talent. Although they are not the favorites to win the NBA Finals, they could surprise some people if they get hot at the right time.
Utah Jazz
The Utah Jazz are one of the most dominant teams in the NBA, and they are favorites to win the NBA Finals in 2021. Led by superstar point guard Donovan Mitchell, the Jazz have all the tools necessary to win a championship. They have a deep roster that can score from anywhere on the court, and they have shown they can beat anyone in the playoffs. If the Jazz can stay healthy, they should be able to make a deep run in the playoffs and compete for a title.
Miami Heat
The Miami Heat are led by Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, and Goran Dragic. These three players have been carrying the team all season, and they will likely have to continue to do so if the Heat want to win the Finals.
The Heat finished the regular season with a 44-29 record, which was good for fifth in the Eastern Conference. They then went on to upset the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks in the first round of the playoffs. In the second round, they faced off against the Boston Celtics and won in six games.
Now, the Heat are in the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2014. They will face off against either the Toronto Raptors or Philadelphia 76ers. The Raptors currently lead that series 3-2.
If the Heat can make it to the NBA Finals, they will be a tough opponent for whichever team they face. They have guard play that can match up with anyone, and their big men are extremely talented as well. Jimmy Butler is one of the best two-way players in the league, and Bam Adebayo is a rising star. The Heat also have good depth, which will be important in a long series.
Ultimately, it will come down to whether or not the Heat can get hot at the right time. If they can continue to play at a high level, they have a chance to win it all.
