The Dallas Mavericks are coming off their first NBA Championship in franchise history.

The Heat were favorites to win the championship heading into the season, but fell just a few games short.

In fact, NBA Finals MVP Dirk Nowitzki scored 62 points in the fourth quarter...

Eastern Conference Championship Odds Miami Heat (+250) – The Heat won their opening series against the Philadelphia 76ers 3-1, but didn’t exactly dominate like a lot of people thought they would.
