As we all expected, this series has been as unpredictable as it’s been exciting. Nonetheless, the parity in the series has been tainted by the absence of two of the best players on the planet right now.

Trae Young was forced to miss Game 4 with a bone bruise and Giannis Antetokounmpo left the game in the third quarter with a hyperextended knee and his availability for the remainder of the season is in jeopardy.
