Game 1: Dallas -5
Series: 5dimes -185/+160; Bookmaker -210/+180
I think Dallas will go off -225 or over.

Series lines moving fast.
5dimes already up to -210/+175
Bookmaker down to -205/+175
Interesting that series line is similiar to Chi/Mia. Yet, Mia is +2 in Game 1 where Dal is -5 in Game 1. Something doesnt jive there.

miami is on the road, should they be -3? series prices are different than game prices. the better team (WITH the best player/s) wins the series almost every single time.

Yes, you make a great point, series prices are different than game prices.
They are going to have to win a game on the road to win the series, no? Will Bulls be fav every game at home? Hard to tell how series plays out. Maybe they are dogs tonight because book is factoring in an emotional let down for Heat after taking out Celtics. Or, they just figure that HEat are going to be the tougher team with back against the wall, and Heat will be -2 in Game 2 if they lose Game 1. Or will be fav in Game 5 or 7 if the series is tied.
But, historically you dont see that much movement of the original Game 1 line barring no significant injuries.

Bulls sitting at -1.5 for Game 2. If Heat are not favored here, I don't see them being favored in Chicago this series. Makes the original series line all the more interesting. I guess the books were strictly playing off "public" perception.
Also, Mavs up to -240/+200 on Bookmaker. I would be suprised if it went higher, but really think it should be about -300.
