The NBA finally returns on Christmas Day -- $900 in Bonuses and $10K limit on NBA Games

After a two month delay, NBA betting season finally gets underway on X-mas day with a five star quintuple header.

The game that is getting the most basketball betting action is the rematch of last year's NBA Finals as the Dallas Mavericks host the Miami Heat. Despite winning their first championship in franchise history, Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavs are four-point home underdogs to LeBron James and the visiting Heat.

The first game of the day pits the Boston Celtics against the new-look New York Knicks. This game opened close to a "pick em", but the boys from the Big Apple are now 3.5-point chalk. The Knicks added veterans Tyson Chandlers and Mike Bibby over the offseason. Meanwhile, the Celtics are getting older by the minute.

Thanks to the blockbuster deal that brought Chris Paul to Tinsel Town, the Los Angeles Clippers vs. Golden State Warriors is the game that had the biggest line move. Before Paul was traded to the Clippers, Golden State was a slight favorite in the NBA Christmas nightcap. Now with visions of endless Paul to Blake Griffin alley-oops, the Clippers are five-point chalk.

In addition to the three games mentioned above, the Chicago Bulls visit the Los Angeles Lakers while and the Orlando Magic travel to Oklahoma City to play the Thunder.

NBA Finals Game #5 Preview: Miami Heat vs. Dallas Mavericks

Pointspread: Dallas -3

Over/Under: 186.5

The Miami Heat will look to win their second road game in-a-row this Tuesday night to try and take a commanding 3-1 series lead in Game 4 of their best-of-seven NBA Finals matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. Tip-off is set for 9 p.m. (ET) and the game will be broadcast nationally on ABC.

Miami was able to preserve an 88-86 win over the Mavericks this past Sunday night as a 2 ½-point road underdog when Dirk Nowitzki?s jumper in the closing seconds missed the mark. The victory raised the Heat?s record to 5-3 on the road in these playoffs both straight-up and against the spread. The total stayed ?under? the 188.5 point total and has now stayed ?under? in five of the eight games.

LeBron James has grabbed most of the headlines for Miami this postseason, but Game 3 was Dwyane Wade?s turn to shine as he poured in a team-high 29 points and pulled down 11 rebounds to lead the way. James finished the night with 17 points and nine assists. The Heat shot 43.6 percent from the floor and outscored Dallas in the paint 40-22.

You cannot fault Nowitzki for Sunday night?s loss as once again he led the team in scoring with 34 points and rebounds with 11. Shawn Merion struggled from the floor shooting 4-for-12 and Mavericks as a whole went 8-for-21 from three-point range. They did have a 42-36 edge in total rebounds and converted on 81.5 percent of their free-throws, but still came up a few points short in the end.

The loss in Game 3 dropped Dallas to 13-5 SU and 13-4-1 ATS. It is 7-2 SU at home this postseason and 6-3 ATS. The total has gone ?over? in five of its nine home games and is 9-8-1 overall, but has stayed ?under? in three of its last four games.

Three games into this series, these teams have had the chance to get to know one another pretty well. This game hinges Miami?s ability to contain Nowitzki and force Dallas into taking bad shots. Once again, things come down to the final buzzer, but this time the Mavericks? all-everything power forward wins the game by draining the final shot.

NBA Finals Betting Preview-Game 4: Miami Heat at Dallas Mavericks

Pointspread: Dallas -3

Over/Under: 187

The 2011 NBA Finals matchup between the Miami Heat and the Dallas Mavericks shifts from the American Airlines Arena in Miami to the American Airlines Center in Dallas this upcoming Sunday for Game 3 with the best-of-seven series knotted at one game apiece. Tip-off is set for 8 p.m. (ET) and the game will be broadcast nationally on ABC.

Miami will spend the next two days trying to figure out how it blew a 15-point lead with less than eight minutes play in a 95-93 loss in Thursday?s Game 2 as a 4.5 point home favorite. The Heat?s collapse was their first loss at home in the playoffs after nine straight wins. They have not been nearly as dominant on the road with a 4-3 record both straight-up and against the spread. The total has stayed ?under? in four of the seven games.

Dwyane Wade led the Heat with 36 points and LeBron James added 20 points, but this series is coming down to a battle of the boards as Miami won the first round 46-36, but was outrebounded 41-30 in Thursday?s meltdown.

Dallas?s dramatic rally raised its overall record in the playoffs to 13-4 SU and a very profitable 13-3-1 ATS. It is 7-1 SU at home this postseason and 6-2 ATS. The total has gone ?over? in five of its eight home games and is 9-7-1 overall.

Dirk Nowitzki has been ?as advertised? with a game-high 27 points and eight rebounds in Game 1 and 24 points in Thursday?s comeback including scoring the final nine points of the game to steal the win and tie the series at 1-1. Shawn Merion also came up big in a supporting role with 20 points and eight rebounds and Jason Terry added 16 points and five assists off the bench.

Another key to Thursday?s win besides dominating the boards was Dallas?s ability to improve its shooting from the floor from 37.3 percent on Tuesday night to 48 percent in Game 2.

Turning to Sunday?s game, the Mavericks will use this tremendous shift in momentum along with raucous support of the home-town crowd to take a 2-1 edge in this series.

NBA Playoffs Preview: Portland Trail Blazers vs. Dallas Mavericks

The NBA Western Conference playoffs get underway this weekend and one of the featured matchups pits the No. 6 seed Portland Trail Blazers against the No.3 seed Dallas Mavericks in a first round best-of-seven series.

Portland won five of its last seven games to finish the regular season 48-34 straight-up and 43-36-2 against the spread. It was 30-11 SU at home, but just 18-23 SU on the road. The total stayed ?under? in five of its last seven games and in 43 of 82 games overall.

Much of the team?s success this season can be attributed to the play of LaMarcus Aldridge. He led the team with 21.8 points and 8.8 rebounds while shooting 50 percent from the field. The Trail Blazers averaged 96.3 points a game, while giving up an average of 94.8. They were ranked 27th in the league in rebounds with 39.3 a game.

Dallas finished the season on a wild ride with a five and four game winning streak wrapped around a four game losing streak to finish 57-25 SU and 44-36-2 ATS. Its 28-13 SU record on the road was the best in the Western Conference. The total went 5-4-1 in its last 10 games and 46-35-1 overall.

It will be up to Dirk Nowitzki, Tyson Chandler, and Jason Kidd to keep this team from making another early exit from the playoffs. The Mavericks have been eliminated in the first round three of the past four seasons, but are counting on their veteran leadership to get them over the hump this time around. Nowitzki led the team in scoring with 23 points. Chandler averaged 9.4 rebounds and Kidd had a team-high 8.2 assists to lead the way.

These two teams split the season series two games apiece, but Portland won the last two at home both SU and ATS including a 104-96 win as a five-point favorite on April 3. The total went ?over? in three of the four games. This series sets up as another first round trap for the Mavericks, but this time around they find a way to advance in a seven-game thriller.

NBA Betting Preview - Denver Nuggets at Dallas Mavericks

Pointspread: Dallas -2

Over/Under: 205

The Denver Nuggets and the Dallas Mavericks will both be trying to generate some momentum heading into the postseason when the two teams square-off tonight at the American Airlines Center. Tip-off is set for 8:30 p.m. (ET) and the game will be available on NBA League Pass.

Denver is pretty much set in fifth-place in the Western Conference with five games left to play in the regular season. The Nuggets are 7-3 straight-up in their last 10, but coming off a 101-94 loss to Oklahoma City as a 4 ½-point home favorite on Tuesday night. The loss dropped them to 47-30 SU overall and 40-33-4 against the spread.

The Nuggets may no longer have Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups, but they are still the highest scoring team in the NBA with an average of 107.3 points a game. Danilo Gallinari and Wilson Chandler are combining for 28.1 points a game since coming over from New York and Nene? is averaging 14.7 points and a team-high 7.6 rebounds.

Dallas comes into this game reeling a bit from a three-game losing streak, including Sunday?s 104-96 loss to Portland as a five-point road underdog. The Mavericks are currently in third-place in the West with an overall record of 53-24 SU and 40-35-2 ATS. They have a two-game lead over Oklahoma City in the standings with five games left to play.

Tyson Chandler is listed as questionable for this game after hurting his back in Saturday?s loss to Golden State. He is the Mavericks' leading rebounder with 9.3 a game. If he cannot go, look for Dirk Nowitzki and Shawn Merion to try and fill the void under the boards. Nowitzki leads the team in scoring with 23 points a game followed by Jason Terry, who is averaging 15.9 points.

Head-to-head, the Nuggets have won three of the last five games SU including a 121-120 victory as a three-point home favorite on Feb. 10. This time around, stick with Dallas to successfully defend it home court even with Chandler out of the lineup with a win that covers the two-point spread.
