Mavericks are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games playing on 3 or more days rest.

Over is 6-2 in Mavericks last 8 vs. NBA Southeast.

Over is 7-0 in Heat last 7 games as a favorite.

Over is 5-0 in Heat last 5 playoff games as a favorite of 0.5-4.5.

Mavericks are 9-1-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings in Miami.

Over is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings in Miami.

My Prediction: This is the moment Lebron James, Chris Bosh, and Dewayne Wade have been waiting for. Now it’s time to take it to the next level. Dirk Nowitzki of the Mavericks will want revenge from losing the NBA Finals to Miami in 2006. You would think the Heat should be big favorites to win this series, but the Mavs finished the regular season only 1 game behind the Heat and won both meetings this year. I see this series going 6 or 7 games, but the Heat will be up for this first game and play with a lot of emotion and determination. They win and cover Game 1.

Heat -4.5
