Free NBA Finals Pick

We picked Phoenix to win this NBA Championship series before it began, and we still give the Suns a good chance to do so. Phoenix won the first two games of this series and had chances to win the last two games, only to come up short late. And both of the previous two games played very close, decided by a couple of buckets. We expect this game to play close, too, which brings five points into play. Plus, the way this series is playing out, we’re guessing it will go seven games. Milwaukee’s come up big the last three times out, but we like the Suns here and won’t be surprised if they win this game outright.
