In a series that seemed destined for seven games, we've gotten our wish. The Celtics will host the Wizards in the second Game 7 of the 2017 NBA playoffs Monday, and the winner will take on the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference finals.

The home team has won every game of the series so far, so the odds favor Boston. But John Wall and the Wizards have proven that they're capable of being thoroughly dominant on any given night.

Below are our experts' picks for Game 7 between the Celtics and Wizards.

Bill Reiter: Celtics

John Wall's magic runs out and Boston makes good on its No. 1 seed by winning when it's supposed to. Isaiah Thomas scores 40, Al Horford puts up another clutch performance, and Bradley Beal goes 4 for 20.

Ethan Skolnick: Wizards

While just about everything points to Boston at TD Garden -- especially in light of the dramatic home/road splits in this series -- this also feels like the superstar breakthrough moment for John Wall. Washington will need something from Bradley Beal and its bench too, but this is a bet on Wall being the best player on the floor when it matters most. He has learned a lot from LeBron James, and now he'll get to see the game's greatest player in the next round.

Matt Moore: Celtics

Game 7s are determined by who shoots better. Teams are 41-11 in the past 20 years when it has a higher effective field goal percentage, which should shock no one. The point behind this obvious statement is that by a Game 7, you know the other team's offense inside and out. You know their tendencies, you know their rotations and you're out of adjustments. You've thrown everything you have at the wall, no pun intended. Now it's just whoever executes -- but even then, it's not really that, it's just about making shots. And the Celtics, at home, shoot better than the Wizards do on the road. It's that simple. These teams are even, that's why we're at a Game 7, but the coin flip is weighted toward Boston in the Garden.

James Herbert: Celtics

When it's this close, the home team is the safer pick. The Celtics have better shooting, better ball movement and a deeper bench. That doesn't guarantee they'll make more plays than John Wall and Bradley Beal at the end of a Game 7, but it does make them slight favorites. The playmaking of Al Horford feels like the key factor here; he has been phenomenal for Boston, and he should help his team stay steady in this situation. Imagine if Washington had signed him last summer.

Jack Maloney: Celtics

I picked Celtics in 7 before the series, and I'm sticking with that. As the others have noted, home court here is the deciding factor. These teams have played 10 games now between the regular season and the playoffs, and the home team is 10-0; I can't see that changing here. The Celtics' net rating is 1.3 on the road against 7.8 at home during the postseason, while the Wizards have an even steeper swing, cratering from 11.6 in D.C. to -11.8 on the road. I think the deciding factor in Game 7 will be the Celtics' bench -- which was abysmal in Game 6, going just 2 of 15 from the field on the way to five points, but has averaged over 30 points during the three games in Boston this series.

Chris Barnewall: Wizards

The home team has won every single game so far, but in Game 7 all previous reasoning goes out the window. Anything can happen, and that's why I'm going with John Wall to lead Washington to its first conference finals appearance since the '70s. For so much of this series Washington has looked like the better team, only to have its bench fall short and give up leads. I wouldn't be surprised to see Wall, Marcin Gortat and Markieff Morris play over 40 minutes. If those three and Bradley Beal can step up, then that should be enough to get the Wizards to Cleveland.
