Dallas -4.5

Dallas has the bodies to play Hack-a-Shaq if they so choose. Much has been made of the fact that Miami is winless against the NBA?s elite teams and Dallas has won 11 straight (8-3 ATS). Dirk Nowitzki and Josh Howard are both big scorers that can handle the rock and Miami will have difficulty simultaneously covering them both. Dallas? strong second unit may be the ultimate difference, though.

This will be a big test for the Bulls, who are showing shades of 2004-05. It is their fourth road game in six nights. Kings C Brad Miller has a broken thumb and will likely still be out, but the multiple post-up threats of Artest, Abdur-Rahim, and Wells may be too much for the smaller Bulls to deal with.
