Series odds after game 2

Miami -140 Dallas +120

Probably what they should have been before the series started

No way. Mavs -3.

Miami still favored for the series because they get game 7 at home.

huh? dallas is -3 in game 3

miami is the public team so they are gonna be favs in series even if they lost home court

its not a true line either way, but they should win one in dallas and need both back at home

hard to see -3 but just weird series line i guess. you figure series tied 1-1 and you got 3 games at dallas right? dallas should be favored in all 3 and they're still making heats favs..

dude no offense but youre using polish logic, miami is still slight favs in the series

its a public line, should be -110 both way IMO

but regardless, Dallas will be favored every game at home, and Miami, should win one of the 3

Guys these are the 2 best road teams in the NBA. Winning on the road isn't that big of a deal for either of them really.

I liked leaned Miami before the series started and was planning on playing them for the series but the -140 is still too rich for me....if Dallas snatches game 3, I think there will be a solid number for Heat backers to snatch.
