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.

Game 3 of this year?s best-of-seven Stanley Cup Finals matchup between the Vancouver Canucks and the Boston Bruins is set for tonight at TD Garden with Vancouver holding a 2-0 lead. Game time is set for 8 p.m. (ET) and it will be broadcast nationally on CBS.

Vancouver opened up a two-game lead in this series with 3-2 overtime win as a 185 favorite this past Saturday. The Canucks are now 14-6 overall this postseason; 13-4 as the favorite and 1-2 as an underdog. The total has gone ?over? in five of its eight games on the road and is 8-9-3 overall.

Alexandre Burrows scored 11 seconds into overtime to seal Game 2 for the Canucks. He now has two goals and an assist in this series compared to just one goal and two assists for the high powered trio of Ryan Kesler and Daniel and Henrik Sedin. The real story for the Canucks so far has been the play of goalie Roberto Luongo, who has stopped 64 of the 66 shots he has faced.

Boston?s perfect 6-0 record in the playoffs when leading after two periods came to an end in Saturday?s overtime loss. It is now 12-8 overall; 3-4 as an underdog and 9-4 as a favorite. The total has been evenly split at 5-5 in its 10 home games and is 10-9-1 overall.

David Krejci and Nathan Horton are going to have to find a way to get the puck past Luongo to avoid a dreaded 0-3 hole in this series. These two combined for 18 goals in the three previous series but have been shutout so far in this one. Tim Thomas has done his part in goal to keep the Bruins in both games with 63 saves on 67 shots. He has been in goal for all of Boston?s 20 postseason games and has a GGA of 2.27 and a .930 save percentage.

Both team?s defenses have been relentless and both goalies have been playing at a high level, so the best play in tonight?s game could be the ?under? as this game is setting up as another hard-hitting, low-scoring affair. Stick with Boston to grind out a win to get back into this series.

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.
