Previewing Game 6 between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals Tuesday night (9pm ET on ABC). The Warriors lead the series 3-2.

THREE BIG QUESTIONS

1. Will LeBron James finally get the help he needs in Game 6? In four of the five games of the NBA Finals, LeBron James has played like he's in a video game. He has put up insane averages, controlled the pace of the game throughout much of this series and he's shouldered an impossible load of responsibility and production on the basketball court. If the Cavs lose one of the next two games, his detractors will use his Finals record against him because they don't even want to consider the context that saturates it. They just like the losses.

In reality, LeBron's nearly Herculean effort in this particular NBA Finals is so good that we're having discussions of whether or not he should be given the Finals MVP even if the Cavs don't lose. We don't have those discussions ... almost ever. The reason we're pondering what would be one of the more awkward trophy presentations in history and the most awkward trophy presentation since Dirk Nowitzki's MVP press conference in 2007 is because he's 1) been that incredible, and 2) hasn't received much of any help.

Kyrie Irving gave LeBron 23 points of support before breaking his kneecap. The next highest scoring average for Cleveland in this series is Timofey Mozgov's 13.4 points. J.R. Smith is the other double-digit scorer for the Cavs with a scoring average of 10, but he's needed 12.4 shots per game to get those 10.

Even when the Miami Heat completely wet the bed against the San Antonio Spurs in 2014, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh both averaged at least 14 points. The Spurs in 2013 had five guys averaging double figures. Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant both complemented each other with averages of 27 points or better in 2012.

To find a supporting cast this unproductive in NBA Finals history, you'd have to go back to 2007 when the Spurs swept LeBron and the Cavs. A very young LeBron averaged 22 points, while his next greatest scoring contributor was Drew Gooden with 12.8 and Daniel Gibson was the other double-digit scorer with 10.8. Mozgov has been LeBron's Drew Gooden this year. J.R. Smith has been a less efficient Daniel Gibson. Does anybody feel like making some shots for the Cavs in Game 6?

2. Will either team go with their traditional lineups for extended minutes? Game 5 in Oakland saw Andrew Bogut get a DNP-CD despite not having an injury that should keep him out of the NBA Finals. He simply wasn't working and Steve Kerr decided to go a different direction with his smaller lineup that forces down a quicker tempo at the beginning of the game. Festus Ezeli came into the game for three minutes, but that was as close to traditional lineups with a true center in action that the Warriors got in their 104-91 victory.

Mozgov -- coming off a 28-point explosion in the Game 4 destruction of the Cavs -- played roughly the first five minutes of Game 5, the last 40 seconds of the third quarter and then the first four minutes of the fourth quarter. That was it. He played nine minutes in total and the closest thing to a backup center David Blatt put into the game off the bench is James Jones.

Kerr has gone small to jump-start the offense and force the Cavs to find and match the Warriors' tempo like an overbearing jazz teacher trying to find the perfect drummer. Kerr is unlikely to blink in Game 6, unless Bogut is the only answer for a parade right down the middle of the lane that keeps the Cavs scoring in the paint. Mozgov could be the answer for Blatt in terms of protecting the rim, but that also risks him having to defend the perimeter.

If anybody is going to go big with their lineup, it's Blatt. It may be the only answer he has to force a Game 7. Go big with Mozgov and Tristan Thompson, hope to obliterate them on the boards, score a bunch of second chance points early on and force Kerr to go traditional. If you can couple that with more unreal production from LeBron, this thing may not be over Tuesday night.

3. Will the Warriors hoist up the trophy after tonight's game? The 2014-15 season has belonged to the Golden State Warriors like a couple in love belongs to the light and belongs to the thunder.

They had the best regular-season team with historical point differentials. They had one of the most dominant home campaigns in NBA history. They had the MVP in Stephen Curry. They had the leading first-place vote-getter for Defensive Player of the Year (second overall to Kawhi Leonard) in Draymond Green. They had two All-NBA players in Curry and Klay Thompson. They had the runner-up to Coach of the Year with Steve Kerr. Bogut joined Green on the All-Defense teams.

This has been the Warriors' year. But that doesn't mean they just get the championship. As they've had to prove in Games 4 and 5, they have to earn the title. The road before them to get to the Finals wasn't the toughest possible with the Clippers and Spurs both getting eliminated before the Warriors could collide with them, but they beat the teams put before them, which is all you can ask of Golden State. They fought back after going down 2-1 to the Cavs and have reminded everybody of the special quality they exhibited all season.

Now they have a chance to win their first NBA championship since 1975. They need to close out in Cleveland and win on enemy parquet in order to do it, lest they allow the series come down to a "winner takes all" Game 7. The Warriors are primed to be champions after Tuesday, but they can't let the assumed inevitability cloud their focus because then they leave the door open for the Cavs responding and knowing one more road win at Oracle Arena could give them their first title in franchise history.

There's certainly pressure on the Cavs to extend their season, but nobody expected them to make it this close once Irving went down in Game 1. The Warriors will feel pressure to close out the series and the season, and they'll have to deal with that pressure or angst to get it done throughout Game 6.

THE HIGHLIGHT: Steph Curry was absurd in the Warriors' Game 5 victory -- posting a very MVP-esque 37-point performance that included some unreal daggers that you'd only find in those random medieval-themed stores in the mall. We have only one or two more games of watching Curry's unreal handle and jumper own the 2014-15 season. Let's cherish the moment.

ONE KEY NUMBER: 36.6-12.4-8.8. No, this isn't a locker combination. I'm pretty sure lockers don't use numbers with decimal points. The 36, 12 and nearly nine represent the points, rebounds and assists LeBron is averaging in the NBA Finals. It's not fair to say he's been unstoppable because Andre Iguodala and the Warriors' defense has been executing a difficult but stubbornly effective strategy in the way they shade LeBron into taking as many jumpers as possible over an outstretched hand.

As LeBron wants people to know, they haven't "let" him get 40 points in three of the five games. They haven't "let" him do anything on the court. They've forced him to work for these numbers, and they've forced him to work hard. It's probably why his shooting percentage (39.9 percent) and his true shooting percentage (48.4 percent) are so low in these five games. James has been overworked and over relied upon to lift what is left of this Cavs' roster to the podium.

The 36.6-12.4-8.8 is a ridiculous line of averages that we may never see again. It's Oscar Robertson numbers in a modern day environment, where we don't have to wonder how he got them or just how effective they are. The numbers have been effective enough to make the Warriors sweat and change their starting lineup to combat what James is doing. Unfortunately for Cleveland, it doesn't look like they unlock the door to the title just yet.
