Through those two, the Cs are scoring 125\u00a0PPG in their last three games at home.<\/p>\n<p>For the Wiz, this will be\u00a0about John Wall&#8217;s leadership. His production so far (26.3 PPG, 10.2 APG) and Game 6 game-winner is great and all, but knockout games are where legends are made, especially\u00a0for this particular series, where the visiting team has been thrashed in five out of six times.<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/washington-wizards-vs-boston-celtics-predictions-picks-and-preview-2017-nba-playoffs-eastern-conference-semifinals-game-seven.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>FULL PREVIEW<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction:<\/h3>\n<p>The Celtics advance, 109-10<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Ottawa Senators\u00a0vs. Pittsburgh Penguins\u00a0(7:30 PM ET)<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Line:<\/strong>\u00a0Ottawa Senators (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/hockey\/nhl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>+170<\/strong><\/a>) vs. Pittsburgh Penguins (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/hockey\/nhl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>-200<\/strong><\/a>); total:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/hockey\/nhl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>5.5<\/strong><\/a> \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/hockey\/nhl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>view all NHL lines<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Senators have to be excited after Game 1&#8217;s thrilling, home ice advantage-stealing, 2-1 OT win. They displayed a good all-around effort, especially Craig Anderson, who had 27 saves (.964 save percentage). If they are able retain the focus and tenacity on both ends, they may come home holding a 2-0 lead.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the underwhelming Game 1, no one should be ready to\u00a0count out or even doubt the powerhouse Penguins. They currently own the Stanley Cup trophy for a reason, and it&#8217;s simply hard to imagine that the stat-stuffing duo of Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin will let the Pens go on the road facing\u00a0a two-game deficit.<\/p>\n<p>Also, Pittsburgh&#8217;s defense still did well overall. Marc-Andre Fleury made 33 saves and just fell a little short in the extra period.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><a
