Game 6 Eastern Conference Finals Preview

 Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals is tonight. The Bucks took a 3-2 lead after game 5. They received contributions from everyone including 4 players who scored at least 20 points. Brook Lopez led the way with 33 points. Lopez and the Bucks for the first time this series took advantage of their size. Lopez limited his 3 point attempts by taking just 2 shots from outside. 


The question is can the Bucks win the series and possibly without Giannis. Giannis suffered  hyper extended knee injury in game 4 and  will miss tonight’s game and potentially game 7 if necessary on Monday.

I believe the Atlanta Hawks will force a game 7 tonight. Many of the players on both teams play completely different on the road. Khris Middleton is the biggest X factor in the game. He has 2 games this series with less than 20 points and 3 games with at least 20 points. 


I predict John Collins will be the unsung hero in game 6 for the Atlanta Hawks.  He is due a big game. He has not had a good series he is averaging just 14 points and 9 rebounds. He has potential to come up big this game he will go for 25 points and 12 rebounds.  For the Bucks Bobby Portis will thrive once again with his ability to shoot and put the ball on the floor. He will finish with 22 and 8 while going 3-5 from 3 point line.
