The Warriors consider Green the heart and soul of their team. After an up-and-down Game 1, it's time for Green to put the team on his back. Sure, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson will score like usual, but the tenacious forward will use his athleticism and relentless motor to put up big points on Cleveland's big men.
FYI: 25 would be a season high for Green

LeBron James Has a Triple Double
Kyle Terada-USA TODAY SportsIf the Cavaliers are going to win this series, they're going to need James to play like the GOAT -- whether you agree with the assertion or not. Cleveland knows they have to ride him to the title, and that's why he'll come up big in Game 2. As if he wasn't dominant enough in the Game 1 loss, the King will absolutely explode and fill the stat sheet in Game 2.
Warriors Win in Blowout Fashion
Kyle Terada-USA TODAY SportsGame 1 was an instant classic, watching the Warriors finally pull away in overtime. This time around, though, the Cavaliers won't be able to keep it as close. Especially with Kyrie Irving's knee acting up and LeBron James being forced to carry this team, looking for Golden State to put the pressure on and come away with a commanding Game 2 win before heading on the road.
