Even without Giannis the bucks are too strong for the wizards. Only way wizards win is if they shoot something like 60-65% on their threes. Bucks are deep and can beat lower level teams without Giannis fairly easily
Agree but since the opening was -16 Bucks, I think the chance of the bucks covering that spread is now lesser since Giannis is not playing and his contribution is big for the win, in addition, Wizards are a desperate team now, they want to have a win and beating a good team is like a challenge to them.
Right now its 57-37 still early in the game but the bucks are so strong. They have to be the favorites to win it all with the easiest path to the finals. I cant see any team in the east really challenging them in a 7 game series. Only question is who would they play from the west.
