Miami Heat at Dallas Mavericks Prediction
Given the forecast of a slim margin of victory separating the two participants, we will go ahead and nullify the juice and save five cents by taking Dallas outright as opposed to taking back a point. Very simply, Dallas has been a formidable team on their own court this year and despite their overall ghastly record, they have been around .500 at the American Airlines Arena. Given the soaring stock of Miami as a result of their recent exploits, this line tells us all we need to know. Despite all the hyperbole, the Heat should not be trusted in this market with substantial points but nevertheless it may appear to be a quality play by virtue of the fact it appears to be a rather friendly price. The fact remains, Miami has defeated Houston on the road while also losing to Orlando at home. This team is very inconsistent and given the fact they just ransacked a quality team in Indiana at home, this fixture sets them up perfectly for a let-down against a weaker opponent in comparison.
Free Pick:
Take Dallas -105 and Under 200
