Miami Heat (26-27) at Dallas Mavericks (44-9)
9:35 pm Eastern
TNT
SBG Global Opening Line: Mavericks – 11.5
It is a rematch of last year’s NBA Finals tonight in Dallas, but it won’t be the same as the Heat will be missing Dwyane Wade. Last night Wade dislocated his left shoulder in a collision with Houston’s Shane Battier and will be out for a long while. The Heat’s chances of defending their NBA title probably ended with Wade’s injury and early betting at SBG Global points towards the gambling public thinking so too with most money on Dallas at home.
The Heat are 1-6 this season without Wade and now the pressure will fall upon Shaquille O'Neal to carry the team. "This is the way it's going to be this year I guess," said head coach Pat Riley. "We've had a lot of adversity. Things haven't been going well from the get go." Dallas is an NBA best 24-3 at home this season and looks like the favorite to win the title this season. Dallas is currently on a nine game winning streak and has won a franchise-record 17 consecutive home games.
Dallas is a 12.5 point favorite at SBG Global.
Dallas has not played since last Thursday when they defeated the Houston Rockets. Dirk Nowitzki had 26 points and eight rebounds in that game and is averaging 28.2 points and 9.6 rebounds in his last five games. He had 22 points and 11 rebounds against the Heat last month.
The Heat are 7-1-1 ATS in their last 9 vs. the Western Conference. The Heat are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as a road underdog. The Heat are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The Heat are 7-16-1 ATS in their last 24 vs. the Southwest. The Heat are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Dallas but the underdog is 4-0-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
The Mavericks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Mavericks are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games as a home favorite. The Mavericks are 10-4-2 ATS in their last 16 vs. the Southeast. The Mavericks are 2-6-3 ATS in their last 11 vs. the Eastern Conference.
The Under is 6-1 in Miami’s last 7 Thursday games. The Over is 6-2 in Miami’s last 8 vs. the Southwest. The Over is 15-5-1 in the Heat’s last 21 games as a road underdog. The Over is 6-2 in the Heat’s last 8 vs. the Western Conference. The Over is 17-7-1 in Miami’s last 25 road games. The Under is 6-1 in the Mavericks last 7 vs. the Southeast. The Under is 6-1 in the Mavericks last 7 games as a favorite. The Under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in Dallas.
Dwyane Wade is definitely one of the best players in the NBA but the line has moved too much and the Mavs could let down a bit with Wade out of the lineup and keep in mind that teams without a star player usually play well for just that first game when the star is out.
