Monday’s NBA Playoffs Game 7 betting preview: Wizards at Celtics

Bradley Beal scored a series-best 33 points in Friday's win but is still trying to find his shot from long range while shooting 26.3 percent from beyond the arc in the series.

Washington Wizards at Boston Celtics (-5, 209.5)

The Boston Celtics squandered a five-point lead in the final minute of Game 6 and were victimized by some fuzzy clock management in the final seconds of a 92-91 loss, but at least they can look forward to Game 7 at home. The top-seeded Celtics will try to continue the trend of the home team winning every game in the series and dispatch the Washington Wizards on Monday in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Wizards All-Star point guard John Wall buried a 3-pointer with 3.5 seconds left in Game 6 to give his team a one-point lead and Kelly Oubre Jr. used Washington's foul to give with 2.7 seconds remaining, according to the NBA's Last Two Minute report, but Boston only got 1.7 seconds left on its final chance as Isaiah Thomas heaved up a 3-point attempt that missed the mark. The Wizards' win not only kept them alive but kept the home team undefeated in the 10 games the teams have played against each other going back to the regular season. "To have Game 7 back in Boston in the Garden," Thomas told reporters after the loss. "If you had said that back in October, that there'd be a Game 7 in the second round, a lot of people probably wouldn't even believe that. So we're excited. I mean, it hurts right now because we just lost. We have nothing to hold our heads down about, we're going to take a few days to figure out our adjustments and win Game 7." Washington is attempting to return to the conference finals for the first time since the 1978-79 season while the Celtics are looking to return for the first time since 2011-12.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, TNT

LINE HISTORY: The Celtics opened as four-point home favorites for Game 7 and by Sunday afternoon that point spread was up to -5. The total hit the board at 211.5 and dropped down to 209.5.

INJURY REPORT:

Wizards - No injuries to report.

Celtics - No injuries to report.

ABOUT THE WIZARDS (56-38 SU, 47-46-1 ATS, 58-35-1 O/U): Wall is averaging 26.3 points and 10.2 assists in the series and combines with Bradley Beal to form a backcourt that is not afraid to take the big shots. "Now those guys are not babies anymore. They’re closers," Backup center Ian Mahinmi told the Washington Post. "They're proven closers. ... All those shots were like no hesitation. You could tell from the bench, you could tell from being on the floor, those guys are now calm when it comes down to taking the last shots and game-winning shots." Beal scored a series-best 33 points in Friday's win but is still trying to find his shot from long range while shooting 26.3 percent from beyond the arc in the series.

ABOUT THE CELTICS (60-34 SU, 48-44-2 ATS, 46-44-4 O/U): Thomas is averaging 19.3 points on 39 percent shooting in four games since exploding for 53 points in Game 2 but is looking forward to the opportunity to prove himself on the Game 7 stage. "That's where all the great players make their name," Thomas told reporters of Game 7. "You gotta give it everything you've got. I guess that's where legends are born. I'm excited." Thomas is getting plenty of help the last two games from shooting guard Avery Bradley, who followed up a playoff career-high 29 points in Game 5 with 27 in Game 6 and is 22-of-37 from the floor in that span.

TRENDS:

* Wizards are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.
* Celtics are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall.
* Over is 4-0 in Wizards last 4 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.
* Over is 6-0-1 in Celtics last 7 home games.
* Wizards are 0-8 ATS in the last 8 meetings in Boston.

CONSENSUS: 65 percent of users are siding with the home favorite Boston Celtics and Over is picking up 65 percent of the totals wagers.

Monday’s Stanley Cup Playoffs betting preview: Senators at Penguins

"Ottawa defends the scoring area very well, and sometimes the best way to break down coverage is a shot on goal and a rebound goes somewhere and decisions have to be made."

Ottawa Senators at Pittsburgh Penguins (-215, 5)

Senators lead series 1-0

Jean-Gabriel Pageau and Bobby Ryan are paying significant dividends in the playoffs after some admittedly lean times during the regular season. After stepping up in the opener of the Eastern Conference final, the Ottawa Senators forwards look to put the reigning Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins on the ropes Monday when the teams reconvene at PPG Paints Arena for Game 2.

"It's a refresh, I think, for me. I think it was a complete restart," said Ryan, who set up Pageau's series-opening goal before the latter returned the favor on the former's overtime tally at 4:59 to give Ottawa a 2-1 victory Saturday. Ryan was taken to task for his career-worst regular-season point total of 25 (13 goals, 12 assists) before erupting for 11 (five goals, six assists) in the playoffs, with nine of them (four goals, five assists and three game-winning tallies) coming in seven road games. While Pittsburgh saw Evgeni Malkin register his league-leading 19th point with his third-period goal, coach Mike Sullivan insisted his team needs to generate more shots after mustering only 17 at even strength in the series opener. "Ottawa defends the scoring area very well, and sometimes the best way to break down coverage is a shot on goal and a rebound goes somewhere and decisions have to be made," Sullivan said.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, NBC Sports Network, CBC, TVAS

LINE HISTORY: The Home team Penguins opened as huge -200 favorites after dropping the opener and that moneyline bumped up to -215 overnight Sunday/Monday. The total hit the board at 5.

INJURY REPORT:

Senators - LW V. Stalberg (Questionable, undisclosed), D M. Borowiecki (Out Indefinitely, leg).

Penguins - D T. Daley (Questionable, lower body), LW C. Hagelin (Questionable, lower body), D K. Letang (Out For Season, neck).

ABOUT THE SENATORS (53-31-7-4, 37-51 O/U): Pageau's one-timer in the first period Saturday gave the 24-year-old seven of his team-leading eight postseason goals in his last six contests, this on the heels of scoring only 12 while playing in all 82 regular-season games. Pageau set up Ryan's overtime winner to give Ottawa six wins in the extra session, pushing the club one shy of matching the 2002 Carolina Hurricanes and 2003 Anaheim (then-Mighty) Ducks and four behind the 1993 Montreal Canadiens for most during a playoff season. "For the most part, we find that the most fun," Senators forward Kyle Turris said. "Playoffs, it's so much fun. It's a blast. ... I think every kid dreams about playing overtime in the Stanley Cup playoffs."

ABOUT THE PENGUINS (58-24-8-5, 53-37 O/U): Captain Sidney Crosby is as even-keel as they come, so perhaps it's no surprise that the two-time Hart Trophy winner kept his cool after being kept under wraps in the opener. "There were some good looks there," Crosby said after recording two shots in 23:32 of ice time. "They're not going to give you anything but we worked hard to get our chances and we've got to bury them when we get them." Pittsburgh defensemen Brian Dumoulin and Olli Maatta came under fire for their roles in Ottawa's goals as the former's decision to reverse the puck on a breakout led to Pageau's tally while the latter was beaten on a sprint to the net by Ryan in overtime.

TRENDS:

* Senators are 5-1 in their last 6 Conference Finals games.
* Penguins are 60-21 in their last 81 home games.
* Under is 4-0 in Senators last 4 Conference Finals games.
* Under is 5-1 in Penguins last 6 when their opponent allows 2 goals or less in their previous game.
* Senators are 2-9 in the last 11 meetings in Pittsburgh.

CONSENSUS: 74 percent of the public is siding with the home chalk Penguins on the moneyline and 68 percent are on the Over.

NHL | Senators vs Penguins
Play on: OVER 5 -140

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NHL Monday Free Pick OVER the total in Pittsburgh Penguins vs Ottawa Senators @ 8 ET - What we saw so far in the Western Conference Finals is likely to be repeated in the east. The Ducks and Predators played to a tight 3-2 OT affair in Game 1 and then delivered an offensive explosion with 8 goals in Game 2 on Sunday. The Penguins and Senators played to a tight 2-1 OT affair in Game 1 but numerous shots hit iron and there certainly were some missed scoring chances that should have been buried. In fact the Pens head coach is telling his team they've got to shoot the puck more in Game 2. In Game 1 on Saturday Pittsburgh was guilty of holding onto the puck too long or making too many passes instead of just getting the puck on net. Look for an effort in that regard to pay dividends with plenty of goals here as Ottawa also knows they missed too many scoring changes as they should have had much more than just a single goal in regulation Saturday. When the Senators have been leading in a playoff series this post-season, only 1 of 7 games has resulted in an under. The Penguins are 9-4 to the over this season when off of a game where they were held to 1 goal or less. Free Pick OVER the total in Pittsburgh Monday. Best of luck, Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach

Play on: Indians -147 at betonline

Archer has been pitching decently of late but he’s just 0-5 with a 5.14 ERA vs. the Tribe in his career. Meanwhile, the Indians starter Carrasco continued his recent top tier work in his last start, going seven scoreless innings and allowing only three hits vs the Toronto Jays. The right-hander is 4-0 with a 1.35 ERA and 27 strikeouts in four road starts this season.Entering Sunday, Carrasco had the fifth-best ERA (1.86) in the Majors, having allowed just 10 runs over 48 1/3 innings.Carrasco's 48 1/3 innings are the most in his career through the first seven starts. He averages 14 pitches per inning, down from 15.3 a year ago. Opponents have posted just a .177/.218/.311 slash line against Carrasco this year.He is backed up by closer Cody Allen who has gone 9-for-9 in save opportunities this season, and allowed just two runs over 13 2/3 innings. I know the Indians , have not done all that well lately, but they got rolling yesterday with a 8-3 win vs the Twins, and are 27-7 L/34 against the money line after having lost 4 or 5 of their last 6 games dating back to last seaon.

ARCHER is 4-17 L/21 against the money line when playing against a team with a winning record over the last couple of seasons. TAMPA BAY is 6-21 L/27 against the money line in road games vs. an excellent bullpen whose ERA is 2.70 or better.

Play on: UNDER 9 -120

#MLB Free Pick from Mike Lundin
Play: Under
Rating: 5/10*

The Houston Astros are going for their seventh win in eight games when they visit the reeling Miami Marlins Monday night. The Astros hand the ball to Joe Musgrove (2-3, 5.02 ERA) who will see the Marlins for the first time in his career. He's coming off a solid outing against Atlanta as he held the Braves to a pair of runs through six innings of a 4-2 win.

The Marlins turn to Dan Straily (1-3, 4.03 ERA) who held the Cardinals to one run on three hits in seven innings his last time out. Straily is 2-0 with a 2.25 ERA in three career turns against Houston and the right-hander has compiled a 2.38 ERA in four home starts this season. He has allowed four hits or fewer in each of his last six starts overall.

Under is 5-0 in the Marlins' last five interleague home games and 5-1 in the last six meetings with the Astros.

MLB | Mets vs Diamondbacks
Play on: Diamondbacks -110 at 5Dimes

I'm recommending a play on the Diamondbacks with Godley over Wheeler. New York is a bruised and battered team and a loser of four in a row after getting pummeled in a three-game sweep at the hands of Milwaukee while allowing 29 runs in the series. The Mets blew a 7-1 lead on Sunday with the Brewers scoring 10 runs in their final three innings. Zack Wheeler is 2-2 with a 4.18 ERA, but control problems has caused him to throw a lot of pitches, including 191 his last two starts and walking eight batters in 10 2/3 innings. Zack Godley will make his third start and he has given up just three runs on eight hits in 12 innings, including a 7-1 win over Detroit on Wednesday when he allowed a run and walked only one batter in seven innings. The Diamondbacks are 15-8 at home and have won five of the last six meetings. We're backing the D-backs on Monday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
