I can't imagine both teams shooting this horrible two games in a row, have to go with the Over again.
Here's the breakdown by BetExposure:
Miami had a 46-36 rebounding edge, which made all the difference with all the clunkers both teams threw up there. The combined 33 points in the first quarter were the fewest in any NBA Finals game 1 ever.
Dallas shot just 37.3% for the game, had only had one 2-point basket in the game's first 15:49 and Dirk Nowitzki needed 7-18 shooting to get his 27 points.
LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh combined for 65 points. When the Big Three score at least 75 points, Miami is 31-3 including a perfect 4-0 this postseason.
If the Mavs are going to turn this around, they'll need more production from their bench, who contributed only 17 points (32.4 below their average in the playoffs) on 4-22 shooting. The Heat bench outscored their opponents' counterparts for just the 8th time in 98 games this season.
Miami is now 6-0 in the playoffs when trailing at the half, and outscored their opponent in the 4th quarter for the 5th straight game.
They are 14-5 ATS in their last 19 games, while Dallas is still 16-3-1 ATS in their last 20, as well as 4-0 ATS after a SU loss.
The Over is 9-4 in the last 13 games with the Mavericks as a road underdog and 12-6-1 in their last 19 games following a ATS loss.
The Over is also 7-1 in Miami’s last 8 playoff games as a favorite, and 6-1 in their last 7 home games.
Dirk Nowitzki wound up tearing a tendon in his left middle finger when Chris Bosh came barreling down the lane and Nowitzki thought he got a clean swipe at the ball. He did not leave the game. X-rays were negative and Nowitzki plans to wear a splint on the finger on his non-shooting hand for the duration of this series.
“I guess it will be all right,’’ Dirk said. “I have to wear a splint probably for the rest of the playoffs – for a couple of weeks – but I will be all right.
“It’s on my left hand, so I’ll be all right for Thursday.’’
