Game 2 of the 2022 NBA Finals sees the Golden State Warriors (-4) hosting the Boston Celtics after a stunning Game 1 defeat. Here's what you need to know:

Warriors Outlook:

• Stephen Curry started hot with 21 first-quarter points but cooled off
• Andrew Wiggins impressed with 20 points on 8-of-15 shooting
• Draymond Green struggled with 4 points on 2-of-12 shooting
• Klay Thompson: 15 points on 6-of-14 shooting
• Jordan Poole: Limited impact with 9 points off the bench

Celtics Outlook:

• Al Horford led with 26 points (9-12 FG) including six 3-pointers
• Jayson Tatum shot poorly (12 points, 3-17 FG) but had 13 assists
• Jaylen Brown: 24 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists
• Strong bench play from Derrick White (21 points)
• Marcus Smart added 18 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists

Betting Analysis: The Warriors controlled most of Game 1 before Boston's late surge and hot 3-point shooting sealed the comeback. Don't expect the same unsustainable shooting from Boston's role players in Game 2. Golden State should make adjustments and cover the 4-point spread.

Key Factors:

• Warriors looking to avoid 0-2 hole at home
• Boston unlikely to repeat hot shooting performance
• Golden State needs better games from Green and bench
• Home court advantage favors Warriors bounce-back
