NBA Finals Odds - 11 Jun

Dallas won 2 out of 3 games on their home floor to put Miami up against the wall for the first time this postseason, but Miami still has the advantage of playing the final two games on their own court. Should Dallas hold on to win the Finals, they will be only the second team in the past 27 years to win the championship after trailing 2-1, and they are very familiar with the first, because they were on the losing end that year against Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat. Will history repeat itself, or will the Heat hold off Dirk and Dallas again? Here are the odds of each team winning the championship as of today.

Odds of Dallas in 6 - 38.3%

Odds of Miami in 7 - 38.1%

Odds of Dallas in 7 - 23.6%

The most likely scenario has Dallas closing out the series tomorrow night in Miami, but if they should happen to lose, the odds swing squarely in favor of Miami, who would be playing at home and coming off a do-or-die victory to keep themselves alive. If Dallas wants to win the title, they need to have the killer instinct tomorrow, and Miami must play like they have nothing to lose. Whichever team wants to win game 6 more should win the title.
