2021 NBA Finals Game 2 Milwaukee Bucks VS Phoenix Suns Free Betting Picks
2021 NBA Finals Game 2 Milwaukee Bucks VS Phoenix Suns Free Betting Picks
Game 1 of the NBA Finals had a bit of a shock right off the bat. Giannis Antetokounmpo who everyone thought season was over after he hurt his knee in the Eastern Conference Finals, not only played but started the game. The other big story of the game, Chris Paul’s first NBA Finals in his Hall Of Fame career got off to a rocky start as Paul looked nervous. As Paul worked his way through an awful first half Giannis looked like his MVP self in dominating in the paint. Then after halftime everything changed. While Giannis’ bulky knee started bothering him Chris Paul sent The Valley into a frenzy, hitting big shot after big shot and finishing the Bucks seemingly by himself in the fourth quarter. When the smoke cleared Phoenix cruised to a 118-105 victory to take a 1-0 lead in the 2021 NBA Finals. Game 2 is Thursday Night July 8th back in Phoenix.
For this free betting pick we’re going after the total. I’m a firm believer in game 1’s in any NBA series leaning Over especially after the first round. There’s a bit of relief by the teams to not only make the next round but to reset the games to 0-0 which takes the pressure off of both teams for the only time in the series. The teams are feeling each other out and the defense tends to suffer. That all changes in game 2. Now there is pressure on both teams. That Game 1 loss will mean nothing to Milwaukee if they can snag game 2 and go back home 1-1. On the flip side, Phoenix does not want to fly to Milwaukee coming off a loss playing in what will be a sold-out zoo. For that reason, both teams will come out not as loose on offense. The biggest reason though is simple. These coaches are good at what they do. As soon as the game ended they dissected every second of the Game 1 tape and will fix the defensive deficiencies and both teams will play much better defense.
In Game 1 I took the Over and it should have gone Over easily but the Bucks conceded a little bit in the 4th. In the end, I never really sweated my Over bet and I’m betting this game will look much different and I won’t sweat the Under. Don’t be surprised if the winner of game 2 doesn’t reach 105. The Pick: I Bet The Under 219
