My Prediction: After a sluggish first half against the Mavs in Game 1, the Heat made the necessary adjustments in the 2nd half and coasted to a 9 point win. I was originally going to take the Mavericks to split the first 2 games, but I really think the Heat, especially at home, are a much better team and Lebron really wants this. Dirk Nowitzki can’t do this alone. He needs everyone to step up if they want to take any games on the road. The Heat will come out of the gate stronger than they did in Game 1 and should win this game easily.

Heat -4.5
