Miami Heat Odds to Win the 2011 NBA Championship

With a win in Madison Square Garden Friday night against the New York Knicks, the Miami Heat odds of winning the 2011 NBA Championship remained at better than 2/1 or +225 for a potential payout of $22.50 on every $10 bet. 

The NBA is starting to live up to early expectations with the Heat finally coming into their own after a slow start, now winning their 11th straight game.  The New York Knicks, one of basketball’s most revered franchises, has a record above .500 for the first time in years and the Boston Celtics continue to look like a formidable foe for both teams in the East.  They’ve won 12 straight.

In the West, the Lakers have 20 wins yet it’s the one-time perennial favorites to win the NBA Championship, San Antonio Spurs, that have the best record in the league at 22-3.  Dallas has 21 wins and the Oklahoma City Thunder (relocated from Seattle in 2008) is promising to build a strong fan base in the Sooner State with a 19-8 record, the best in the Northwest Division.
