NBA Finals Betting: Mavericks Survive Another Thriller; Take 3-2 Lead

The Heat have their backs against the wall after faltering in Game 5. (AP Images) No matter what Dwyane Wade tries to do, 4th quarter time has been Dallas time. The Mavericks finished with a 17-4 run to knock off the Miami Heat 112-103, taking a 3-2 lead into Miami, one win from their first NBA Championship in franchise history. Although Dirk Nowitzki came up big again with 29 points and six rebounds, including a perfect 10-10 from the free throw line, it was Jerry Terry that made the...

NBA Betting: Miami Heat at Dallas Mavericks - Game 5

LeBron James scored just eight points in Game 4 and has dealt with the flak ever since. How will he fare in Game 5? (AP Images) Playing armchair psychologist is always more fun when LeBron James is your topic. What happened to him in Game 4 of the NBA Finals? Did he “check out” mentally, as DeShawn Stevenson told reporters Wednesday afternoon? Or did he strategically play second fiddle to the very hot hand of Dwyane Wade? Either way, the NBA betting market is primed for a monster King...

NBA Betting: Miami Heat at Dallas Mavericks - Game 4

The fate of the Dallas Mavericks lies mostly, but not entirely, on Dirk Nowitzki. The Heat and Mavs tip off for Game 4 tonight. (AP Images) Can you stand the Miami Heat? They could easily be up 3-0 in the NBA Finals. Or they could be down 3-0 to the Dallas Mavericks. It’s been close enough to go either way, but in reality Miami has enjoyed the lead for the most part in this series. Dallas made a timely run to take Game 2, then came up just a little short in Game 3, losing 88-86 as 2-point...

The Miami Heat took Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Tuesday night, beating the Dallas Mavericks 92-84 and covering as 4.5-point home faves on the NBA betting lines. Piece of cake, right? No siree. Dallas went into a zone defense and forced the Heat to fire away from long distance, where they happened to make 11 of their 24 trey attempts. LeBron James (33 percent...

NBA Betting: Preview of NBA Finals

Dwyane Wade won the Finals MVP the last time his Heat won a championship. (AP Images) For all the talk about how the old world order has crumbled, we still get a repeat of the 2006 NBA Finals: the Dallas Mavericks versus the Miami Heat. The big difference is both teams have improved dramatically since then. Miami has LeBron James and Chris Bosh alongside Dwyane Wade, while Dallas has Jason Kidd paired up with Dirk Nowitzki. The Heat also have home-court advantage this time around. The NBA...

One more victory, and basketball betting fans will be treated to a rematch of the 2006 Finals between the Heat and the Dallas Mavericks. Miami had its ups and downs during the regular season, and even at times...

The NBA Finals are in site for Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavs. Can they finish off OKC tonight? (AP Images) They had their chance. The Oklahoma City Thunder were up 15 on the Dallas Mavericks with under five minutes to play in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals, but Dallas stormed back to win 112-105 in overtime. That epic collapse leaves Oklahoma City on the brink of elimination; the Thunder are 6.5-point road dogs on Wednesday’s NBA betting lines for Game 5. That’s +250 on the...

NBA Betting: Thunder Poised To Bounce Back In Game 4

Kevin Durant and the OKC Thunder will have to get back into routine after a disappointing Game 3. (AP Images) It ain’t easy being Russell Westbrook. He’s taking quite a beating in the press now that the Oklahoma City Thunder have fallen behind 2-1 in the Western Conference Finals against the Dallas Mavericks. Although Westbrook scored 30 points in Saturday’s Game 3, he also committed seven turnovers while dishing out just four dimes. The Mavs won 93-87 as 3-point road dogs on the NBA...
