It won't matter the location if the Celtics' role players produce as they did in the previous meeting.
According to oddsmakers at BetDSI, Washington is favored at home, as the Wizards are getting odds of -5 points against the Celtics. Avery Bradley has done a tremendous job defending John Wall, and Al Horford has been dynamite defensively in the paint, but Isaiah Thomas has been a problem.
CLOSING TIMEThe two teams remained locked in a close one for most of the final quarter, which set up an exciting final three minutes.
However heroic Wall's three might have been, back-court partner Bradley Beal aided in the Wizards' late-game comeback. Washington, which dominated the first quarter for most of the series, won both games at home by average of 23 points. "We've got to be locked in, focused".
With John Wall resting on the bench to start the fourth quarter, Bradley Beal converted two straight baskets, including a driving layup with 9:46 left to give Washington its first lead since the first half at 70-69. "Everyone was prepared, and that is what it's all about. A funeral." The Wizards went on to win the game, 123-108, but at the time, Isaiah Thomas laughed and called Washington's all-black outfits stunt "cute", while adding, "It's not like it's a Game 7". Al Horford had 19 points and seven assists, while Jae Crowder matched Thomas with 18 points.

The 30-second spot, titled "First 100 Days", begins with a clip of the president being sworn in earlier this year. Republicans have rallied behind Trump's appointment of the conservative judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court.
"We were on the floor". We'd be nowhere near where we are without him, and I don't think there's any player, coach, anybody that is around him day to day that doesn't understand and appreciate him.
So now here we are, in Game 6. I see the work they put in each and every day and they believe in me as well.
"Everyone knows that once you make some easy shots, the next shots become easier". One season removed from the Cavs trip to the NBA Finals, fans knew Washington would be lucky to win two games, yet they managed to win Games 3 and 5. "I think the biggest thing is I would lean more towards "no" because they're a good team". Meanwhile, the Wizards' 4.5-win differential in the postseason is already the largest by 2.5 games. They won't need such a dominant surge to force a Game 7, but they will need a better effort than what they delivered Wednesday. As a team, Washington shot 38.5% from the field and 24.1% from three, while Boston shot 52.9% and 48.5% respectively.
John Wall is a heat-seeking missile that will either find his way to the basket or create an easy bucket for a teammate with nearly absolute certainty. You don't take anything away from them, because we expected it to be tough. They made adjustments, it must have been something they saw in the film, and they killed us with it in the first quarter.
