The Golden State Warriors are one win away from becoming the 2022 NBA Finals champions. After starting the series 0-1, they are 3-2 heading into Game 6 against the Boston Celtics.
Multiple players stepped up this series and filled in when their teammates had off nights. For instance, Stephen Curry put up monster numbers on nights where Klay Thompson and Draymond Green underperformed. The duo returned the favor in Game 5 when Curry went zero for nine from three. Meanwhile, Anthony Wiggins has been extremely consistent for the Warriors.
Will the Dubs continue their Finals success and close out the series once and for all? Here are our three bold predictions for Game 6 against the Celtics.

Warriors 3 Bold Predictions for Game 6 vs. Celtics
3. Stephen Curry is red hot and ready for a Dubs dub
Stephen Curry (with help from Andrew Wiggins) carried the Warriors' starting five through the beginning of the series. He averaged 34.25 points, 6.25 rebounds, and 2.25 steals in the first four games.
However, Curry had a rare off-night in Game 5. For the first time in 233 games, Curry recorded zero three-pointers. He was 0-9 from deep, putting up less than half the points he has been with 16 on the night.
Expect Curry to come out red hot and ready to score in Game 6. After ending his remarkable three-point streak, he'll be hungry to start a new one. Expect at least 35 points and six three-pointers from the Splash Brother Thursday night.
2. Draymond Green continues his redemption run
As mentioned earlier, Draymond Green hasn't exactly been the biggest contributor to the Warriors' success this series. He had a rough start, putting up more fouls than points.
Green acknowledged his drawbacks and took full accountability for them. Then, in Game 5, he put his words into action.
Green finally found his footing, recording eight points, seven rebounds, and six assists in the win. With the championship just a win away, don't expect him to step off the gas anytime soon. Green will continue his redemption run in Game 6, with at least eight points, rebounds, and assists Thursday night.
