Steph Curry has had his ups and downs during the regular season. That hasn't been the case in the 2022 playoffs so far. The eight-time NBA All-Star is absolutely locked in this postseason, helping the Warriors stay on course to make the NBA Finals this year.
If the Warriors win the title, Curry could also add his first NBA Finals MVP award to his already stacked trophy cabinet. He has done an excellent job thus far, and Golden State will need him to continue to perform in this fashion until the last game of the season to land their fourth title under his leadership.
The odds favor the Golden State Warriors due to several other reasons as well. They have a deep roster this time, akin to their dynasty days, with every player adapting to their roles with great effect.
Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole haven't looked shy in big moments, while Klay Thompson and Draymond Green have displayed their championship DNA in full flow.
