With a Golden State Warriors Game 6 coming up against the Memphis Grizzlies, all eyes will be on the Dubs to close out the series at home. Ahead of the Warriors-Grizzlies game, we'll be making our Game 6 predictions. To say that the Warriors struggled mightily against the Grizzlies in Game 5 would be a grave understatement. After suffering a 134-95 beat down at the hands of the Ja Morant-less Grizzlies, the Warriors will need an all-out team effort on both ends of the floor in their next game.
This will also require stronger performances from their superstar trio of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green who were all ineffective against Memphis on Wednesday night. This is especially true if they're hoping to close out the series on Friday evening. Without further ado, let's now take a look at our Warriors Game 6 predictions.

Warriors Game 6 Predictions
3. Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Jordan Poole will put on a scoring clinic
As one of the league's most prolific scoring trios, it's hard to imagine that the Grizzlies will be able to shut down Curry, Thompson, and Jordan Poole for a second straight time. Between Curry's limitless scoring range and ability to create plays for his teammates, Thompson's clutch shooting, and Poole thriving as a combo guard, the Warriors will be back on their A-game and lighting up the scoreboard in no time.
Despite combining for just 36 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists in Game 5, this dynamic triumvirate is destined to bounce back in an absolute must-win scenario. With their backs against the wall and the pressure starting to mount, Curry, Thompson, and Poole will put on a scoring clinic of epic proportions in a pivotal Game 6.

2. Draymond Green will post a triple-double
There's no denying that Draymond Green is the heart and soul of this Warriors team. With Green being Golden State's designated point-forward and defensive anchor, his play on both ends is vital to their success. Coming off a relatively quiet showing on Wednesday night, Green's going to be playing out of his mind and will look to dominate on both ends of the court. Given that the Warriors already possess plenty of scoring, Green's playmaking and facilitating is what they'll need more of in Game 6.
In previous playoff runs Green has been known as a walking triple-double. Friday night's match-up with the Grizzlies will be another chance for Green to fill out the stat sheet and use his versatile skillset to post a much-needed triple-double. So watch out for him to set the tone for the Dubs as they inch closer to reaching the Western Conference Finals.
1. The Warriors will beat the Grizzlies and advance to the Western Conference Finals
Golden State's series with Memphis has been a brutal fight from start to finish and that certainly won't change on Friday night. Fresh off a blowout loss on the road, the Warriors definitely have their work cut out for them. However, their lethal mix of veteran stars, youth, and athleticism is exactly what they'll need to overcome this deep and aggressive Grizzlies squad.
Their championship pedigree and ability to capitalize in crunch time scenarios is what's made them so successful all these years, and now that they've come within one game of clinching the series there's no way they'll slip up at home. With all this said, the Warriors will beat the Grizzlies and make their first Western Conference Finals appearance since 2019.
