There?s something symbolic about the upcoming Saturday night matchup between the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs, something that even the most skeptical NBA fans can look forward to. The two clubs, of course, lead their respective conferences in the standings.

Not only do the two teams lead opposite conferences, the steps they?ve taken to get where they are have been drastically different. The results? More or less the same.

According to Bodog?s online sportsbook, the Miami Heat have 9/4 odds of winning the NBA championship this year. The Spurs aren?t far behind at 9/2.

It doesn?t so much matter that the Heat were constructed through free agency overnight while the Spurs spent years developing and maintaining their dynasty through the draft. This Saturday, the two clubs are on equal footing. The matchup will be the first of two between the clubs all season (the second coming 10 days later on Mar. 14).

Will LeBron James and company walk away with a much needed big win as the Boston Celtics breath heavily on their necks? When it comes to NBA betting, the Heat have been considered favorites in the league, let alone the East, ever since the season began in October.

But despite their preseason hype, perhaps a safer play when all is said and done will be the veteran squad in San Antonio. They?ve won it all four times in the past 12 years, all with Tim Duncan at the helm. Though they haven?t won a championship since 2007, they could very well find themselves with at least one more title before their leader calls it quits.

Bet on the potential NBA Finals showdown now.
