National Basketball Association Finals

#701 MIAMI @ #702 SAN ANTONIO
(TV: 9:00 PM EST, ABC - Line: Spurs -4, Total: 198.5) - The San Antonio Spurs wish to atone for last season’s collapse against the Miami Heat when the highly anticipated rematch in the NBA Finals begins on Thursday evening in San Antonio. The Spurs led by five with 28.2 seconds to go in Game #6 of last year’s finals before the Heat rallied to win and then claimed the title with a Game #7 victory. Miami is vying to become the first team to win three straight titles since the Los Angeles Lakers (2000-02).

The finals rematch is the first since the Chicago Bulls defeated the Utah Jazz in back-to-back years in 1997-98. San Antonio defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder in six games in the Western Conference finals while the Heat won the Eastern Conference crown by dispatching of the Indiana Pacers in six games. Spurs point guard Tony Parker is expected to play in the opener despite further injuring an ankle in the series finale against Oklahoma City on Saturday. The Heat are in the finals for the fourth straight season since LeBron James opted to take his talents to South Beach.

•ABOUT THE HEAT (66-31 SU, 47-48-2 ATS): The possibility looms that James will opt for free agency on July 1 and he continues to dodge the topic of whether or not he will stick with Miami. The standout forward is averaging 27.1 points, 6.8 rebounds and five assists in the postseason as the Heat went 12-3 over the first three rounds. What isn’t up for debate is that James badly wants to win another title as he certainly took notice of the comments from Tim Duncan, who insisted San Antonio will win this time around. “They’ve been preparing for this moment – we have as well,” James told reporters. “No one is entitled. This is no one’s championship. It isn’t ours, it isn’t theirs. It’s two teams fighting for it.”

•ABOUT THE SPURS (74-26 SU, 54-46-0 ATS): Parker told a French radio station on Tuesday that he will play in the opener despite the injury that caused him to miss the second half of the finale against the Thunder. Parker suffered the injury in Game #4 of the first-round series against the Dallas Mavericks and tweaked it again in Game #4 of the series against the Thunder before the pain sidelined him. “I gritted my teeth,” Parker told RMC Sport in France. “I did not mean to abandon my teammates. But the pain was too strong in the sixth game. I could not really play anymore.” Parker is averaging 17.2 points and 4.9 assists in the postseason.

•PREGAME NOTES: The Spurs are in the NBA Finals in consecutive seasons for the first time in franchise history.... Miami is the first squad to reach the NBA Finals in four straight seasons since the Boston Celtics (1984-87) and is only the fourth team overall – the Los Angeles Lakers (1982-85) and Boston Celtics (1957-66) being the others.... The teams split two regular-season meetings, each winning by double digits at home.... The Heat are 53-37 against the spread (58.8%) versus teams who attempt 18 or more three-point shots/game - 2nd half of the season over the last two seasons.... San Antonio is 37-22 versus the spread (62.7%) versus poor foul drawing teams - attempting less than 24 free throws/game, including 23-12 ATS (65.7%) 2nd half of the season this season.

Game of the Day: Heat at Spurs

Miami Heat at San Antonio Spurs (-4.5, 198.5)

The San Antonio Spurs wish to atone for last season’s collapse against the Miami Heat when the highly anticipated rematch in the NBA Finals begins on Thursday in San Antonio. The Spurs led by five with 28.2 seconds to go in Game 6 of last year’s finals before the Heat rallied to win and then claimed the title with a Game 7 victory.

The Heat are in the finals for the fourth straight season since LeBron James opted to take his talents to South Beach.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, ABC

LINE HISTORY: Books opened the Spurs as 3.5-point home faves for Game 1. The total opened 198.5.

INJURY REPORT: Spurs - PG Tony Parker (Probable, ankle).

WHAT THE CAPPERS SAY: "Despite all of the craziness that happened in the Playoffs, we are down to the same two teams in the Finals that squared off a year ago. The big question mark for the Spurs is the health of guard Tony Parker, who sprained his ankle in the series vs. the Thunder. Parker is crucial to the Spurs plans and if he's slowed down, that could spell trouble for San Antonio. Conversely, the Heat's Dwayne Wade has been used sparingly to this point, Miami could very well have an early advantage in this series." Covers Expert Nick Parsons

WHAT THE BOOKS SAY: "The matchup the Spurs have wanted since they lost the 2013 Finals to the Heat last June. This time around, the Spurs have home-court advantage and are -127 favorites to win. We opened Game 1 with the Spurs -3.5 favorites and quickly moved them to -4, since that move we have seen good two-way action with 63 percent of the action on the Spurs to cover the spread." Michael Stewart, CarbonSports.ag.

ABOUT THE HEAT: The possibility looms that James will opt for free agency on July 1 and he continues to dodge the topic of whether or not he will stick with Miami. The standout forward is averaging 27.1 points, 6.8 rebounds and five assists in the postseason as the Heat went 12-3 over the first three rounds.

Home court is cashing tickets for Spurs backers
By ANDREW AVERY

San Antonio Spurs home games have been cashing in of late for bettors and they'll look for that trend to continue in Game 1 of the NBA Finals Thursday evening.

The Spurs enter the opening game of the series with a 7-0 record against the spread in their last seven playoff home games.

After going 0-3 ATS on their own floor versus the Dallas Mavericks in the opening round, the Spurs covered as 7-point home faves in Game 7 and haven't looked back since, going 3-0 ATS against the Portland Trail Blazers and Oklahoma City Thunder in the next two rounds.

With tipoff approaching, the Spurs are currently 4.5-point home faves in Game 1 after opening -3.5.

Fact or Fiction
By Mike Rose
VegasInsider

For the second straight season, the San Antonio Spurs and the Miami Heat are set to square off in the NBA Finals. We'll go through what is the truth about this series and what is complete bunk about these two teams with the series starting Thursday night in San Antonio.

FACT

Home court advantage will make all the difference: It's what made the difference last season when these two teams played, so why not now? The Spurs have a ridiculous points per 100 possessions of 122.4 over the course of their last eight games played here at the AT&T Center, and they have scored at least 104 points in all of those games. San Antonio is legitimately perhaps the most dangerous team in basketball when playing in its own arena, and short of the first couple games against the Dallas Mavericks, there isn't a team which has really shown the spunk to be able to go out and win in the Lone Star State against the men in black and silver.

Tony Parker's injury is going to be a difference maker: We're going to talk about the depth of the Spurs in just a second, but here's the one place where we are sure that the Heat can take a massive edge. Mario Chalmers, LeBron James, and Dwyane Wade have averaged 4.2 steals per game in these playoffs, and they are three of the best in the league at stepping in front of passes and taking them the other way for easy transition buckets. If the Spurs are really going to be missing Parker, even if it's just for a few extra minutes on a nightly basis in this series, Miami should be able to take advantage, as Manu Ginobili, Cory Joseph, and Patty Mills just don't make up a great distributing point guard trio beyond Parker.

FICTION

The Heat are fine without Mike Miller: When you really look at these two teams, part of the reason why they are here once again is because they have basically the same rosters that they did a year ago. However, the Spurs have added an assassin from long range in Marco Belinelli, while Miami has lost one of its top guns in Miller. Just go back to that three-point play for the Heat in Game 6. Part of the reason why Ray Allen had the opportunity for a respectable look from downtown is because Tim Duncan wasn't on the court. He really didn't have anyone to guard with Miller out there as well at the de facto power forward position with James at the center spot. Now with Miller gone to Memphis, who is Miami going to put out there in that spot? Norris Cole? It's not nearly going to be good enough if this series plays out exactly as it did last season.

Age has caught up to the Spurs: Though we do believe that this is the end of the road for 37-year old Tim Duncan, we definitely challenge the thought that this team is too old to be effective. Sure, the Duncan/Parker/Ginobili troika has 103 years on this earth between them, but when you look up and down the lineup aside from that, there isn't much in the way of 30-somethings. Head Coach Gregg Popovich has done a fantastic job of limiting the minutes which all of his vets have played this year, and that has kept them fresh for this run in the playoffs. Meanwhile, there really is nothing but 30-somethings on the Heat right now (ok, James and Bosh are both 29), and that really shows that the window of opportunity is closing on this team without making another splash in free agency. If depth wins this series (and we think that it will), the Spurs are going to be the Larry O'Brien Trophy holders in another two weeks.

Fearless Prediction
By Tony Mejia
VegasInsider

San Antonio Spurs vs. Miami Heat

Tony Parker's health will be the major variable over the next few weeks. If he's able to be his normal self, the Spurs have the firepower to reverse the 2013 Finals result. Seconds away from a six-game series win, a missed defensive rebound led to Ray Allen's heroic 3-pointer that forced OT and eventually, broke San Antonio's collective heart. That pain has been the driving force behind repeating as Western Conference champs, securing homecourt that should serve them well as the Finals return to a 2-2-1-1-1 format for the first time since 1984. The first two games work out beautifully for the Spurs since they begin on home soil and feature a 2-day break in between. If Parker can get loose enough to help San Antonio take advantage, it could capitalize on the Miami requiring an adjustment period against the best offensive team its seen in months. Kawhi Leonard will need to make LeBron James work for everything he gets, getting help from Danny Green and everyone else Gregg Popovich throws at him. It won't be easy, but Tim Duncan looks focused and prepared to right last year's wrong by exploiting the Heat's lack of size inside to collect a fifth championship.

Prediction: Spurs win 4-3
