Can the Warriors close out the series for their fourth NBA title in eight years? Here is viewing info, X-factors and everything to know for Game 6.

Wiggins has scored well in the series, but he's stepped his defensive effort up, and his rebounding against the physical Celtics has been an X-factor. He grabbed a game-high 13 rebounds in Game 5, on the back of a 16-rebound effort in Game 4. Meanwhile, the Celtics won 11 titles over a 13-year span in the 1950s and 60s. Fatigue could have been a factor, but Tatum is going to have to turn in a consistent performance if the Celtics are going to force a Game 7. Coach Ime Udoka said the Celtics need Tatum to "be aggressive and make the right read" all game long. The Warriors represent the new dynasty, trying to win their fourth title in eight seasons. He also missed two free throws that could have cut the Warriors' lead to eight with five minutes left.

The Celtics and Warriors are rolling with the same starting lineups they had in Games 4 and 5. The line hasn’t moved at all Thursday, with the Celtics remaining 4-point favorites on DraftKings Sportsbook. The total is set at 211 and it has remained around this mark since the lines opened for Game 6. The Celtics aren’t going away without a fight, and it’s now a 12-point Warriors lead with a little bit of time left in the third quarter. The under on the total is looking a bit more promising but it’s still too early to tell. The Celtics have not been able to respond after jumping out to an initial lead and have some foul trouble with Smart and Tatum each having two fouls. Warriors +4 and Warriors moneyline are the bets likely to pay off at this stage. It’s still early on the moneyline front, but Warriors +4 is looking like the better ATS ticket to hold. The Celtics have some foul issues with Tatum and Smart carrying three personals, but they’ve got to let all that go right now and try to make a big run in the second half. The under is going to hit once again, and it has hit every time in Golden State wins during this Finals. Jaylen Brown has 29 for Boston, but the Celtics have turned the ball over 21 times as a team. Golden State wins its fourth title in the last eight seasons and makes a thunderous return to the top after two failed seasons. The Celtics look to win on their home floor one more time to force Game 7.
