On Christmas Day, the year officially opens with 5 games to be performed. One of the most anticipated games include the Dec 25 – Mavericks versus Miami Heat game. The game is the most anticipated game for plenty of reasons. One is that it’s a rematch between the two teams that met in the Finals. The 2nd reason is so that the supporters can see if the teams have the opportunity to win the championship again especially with their roster modifications. Teams have made the most of the time that was allotted for them to get work carried out although the preseason competitions were cut short like the signing of free agents and trading.

Due to the fact they were up versus the star-studded Heat, the championship win by the Mavericks last year was unexpected by plenty of folks. This year, they are again supposed not to win the championship mainly due to the fact they did not sign two key players that helped them win the championship. Tyson Chandler who was their primary defensive stopper has relocated to New York to join Amare and Carmelo, and J.J. Barea was signed by Minnesota to mentor Ricky Rubio and assist him change to become a headline competitor.

On the flip side, the Miami Heat were even able to add a defensive stopper in Battier along with keeping their core group intact. This will make it challenging for teams to score due to the fact most of their scorers will be heavily guarded. And with Haslem in great condition, it will likely be that much harder to score versus the Miami Heat.

If you plan on gambling, the prospects are heavily stacked in Miami’s favor. Dallas needs more time to get their game together especially due to the fact of the loss of Chandler and Barea. The addition of Battier is not going to disturb the offense of Miami which will still make them an amazing offensive team. The odds of Miami losing are quite slim. It is so slim that it’s almost a sure victory so if you want to begin your year right, you should be on Miami.
