The NBA Finals matchup is set, and it's a good one, with plenty of basketball betting options beyond the point spread and total.
In one corner, wearing the white trunks with flame-red trim, from beautiful South Beach, we have the defending NBA champion Miami Heat.
In the other corner, in the black trunks with the silver trim, we've got the four-time champs, the veteran crew from Alamo City, the San Antonio Spurs.

But since Game 1 won't be played until Thursday night, that gives us a couple of days with little more to do than get down on some of NBA Finals prop betting action.
The early wagering has been heavily on the Spurs at 62% according to the Odds Shark NBA consensus data. Miami is favored by 5.5 points at most shops.
Here's a quick look at a few of the NBA championship series props online sportsboooks are offering earlier this week.
To begin with, for this NBA championship series Miami was chalked as a -240 favorite, with the underdog Spurs getting +200.
Breaking that bet down a bit, the odds on a Heat sweep of the Spurs sat at 7/1, while a San Antonio sweep was lined at 18/1.
A Miami win in seven games was being offered at 10/3, while a seven-game San Antonio victory could be bet at 7/1.
And the OVER/UNDER on the number of games this series will go was proffered at 5.5 (over -190/under +155).
Considering this series should be close, could well go seven games, and may involve several close contests, the +250 price on any Finals game going into overtime seems tempting. San Antonio has already played four overtime games in these playoffs.
Bettors can also get odds of 7/1 on someone tossing in a game-winning “buzzer-beater” in this NBA championship series.
Miami's LeBron James was the clear favorite on the NBA championship series MVP board at a price of -225. San Antonio's Tony Parker came next at +450, followed by teammate Tim Duncan at +700, Heat G Dwyane Wade at +800, Chris Bosh and Manu Ginobili both at +2000, Spurs F Kawhi Leonard at +3000 and “Birdman” Andersen at +9900.
Finally, with an eye on the possibility of something fractious happening, a “yes” on a flagrant foul being called in this series was lined at a price of -175, with “no” getting +145, while the price of any player getting suspended during this series sat at +600.
