Warriors' Draymond Green Predicts Winner of NBA Finals Against Celtics and Mavericks

Game 1 of an exciting NBA Finals matchup between the Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks kicks off Thursday at TD Garden.

Experts, including Warriors forward Draymond Green, have made their picks.

In the last episode of “Draymond Green Showpodcast, Green gave his game-by-game predictions on his way to being crowned an NBA champion.

“My personal prediction is I actually think Boston is going to win Game 1 because I think Dallas is going to take some time to get used to this size and this length, and the switch, and what are you going to do, what are you going to adjust to,” Green explained. “Kerry [Irving] And Luca [Dončić] Find out how they’re going to attack it. This will take some time.

“However, I think Dallas figured it out, came back and won Game 2 in Boston. Coming back to Dallas 1-1, I got [the Mavericks] Going to that place where they were playing great and taking Game 3. I had them take Game 4. With Dallas. [having] A 3-1 lead got Boston to win Game 5 and Dallas closed the score in Game 6.”

Although the vaunted Celtics are favorites to win the series, Green believes the Mavericks’ fantasy run ends with the championship, which is consistent with his previous closeness with Dallas to win the championship.

“I think this is Luka’s time, and I think Kyrie has won another title,” Green said. “I think experience is going to be important… I think in the end Dallas is going to get the job done. They’re magical, they have all the pieces… Dallas at No. 6 is what I got.” “.

However, Green fouled out several times during the playoffs. He predicted that the Sacramento Kings will defeat the New Orleans Pelicans “quite easily” in the NBA Play-In Championship. The Pelicans won easily. He also predicted that the Western Conference semifinal series between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Denver Nuggets would be “over” for Minnesota after Denver took a three-games-to-two lead. The Timberwolves won the series.

So, congrats to the Celtics on winning the Finals?
