Green can’t afford another technical.

Warriors forward Draymond Green has plenty of incentive to be on his best behavior in Thursday’s Game 6 of the NBA Finals.

Green has six technical fouls this postseason; a seventh would trigger a league-mandated one-game suspension. If Green gets a technical and the Warriors win Game 6, he’d have to miss Game 7 in Toronto on Sunday.

“I’m very aware,” Green said of how close he is to a suspension. “It’s not that tough (to avoid a technical). Just play the game.”

After picking up four technicals through the postseason’s first 11 games, Green went eight games without one. Then he got one in Game 4 and another in 5.

In the third quarter of Game 4, Green — upset about a nocall on Toronto forward Pascal Siakam as he was driving to the rim — unleashed a verbal tirade on referee Eric Lewis and promptly was assessed a technical. In Game 5, Green — frustrated after getting called for a foul on Kyle Lowry’s reverse layup attempt in the second quarter — picked up a tech after knocking the ball away.

Although emotions will be heightened Thursday during a Finals game that marks Golden State’s farewell to Oracle Arena after 47 seasons, Green isn’t worried about getting No. 7. This is someone who has demonstrated a knack for calming down around referees when he gets close to the suspension threshold.

In the regular season, a player receives a one-game suspension once he is assessed his 16th tech and then gets another one-game suspension for every two additional techs. Each of the past two seasons, Green picked up 15 techs, then avoided a 16th the rest of the way.

In case Green needs any more motivation Thursday, he needs only to reflect on the 2016 Finals. After swiping at LeBron James’ groin in the Warriors’ Game 4 win that year, Green received a flagrant-1, putting him over the flagrant-foul-point threshold and earning him a suspension for Game 5.

Green watched from a suite at the Coliseum as the Warriors lost to the Cavaliers. Golden State then dropped Games 6 and 7 to become the first team in NBA history to squander a 3-1 Finals lead. Now, three years later, it hopes to become the second team to climb out of a 3-1 Finals hole. Looney update: Warriors center Kevon Looney is listed as questionable for Game 6, but intends to play.

After aggravating a cartilage fracture near his chest and ribcage in Game 5, he told reporters that team trainers are “comfortable with me going out there as long as I can tolerate the pain. I feel like I should be able to play in Game 6.”
