THE HOT CORNER
MATT YOUMANS REVIEW-JOURNAL, 42-40-2 (overall record)
Today’s best bet: Dallas Mavericks (+5) over MIAMI HEAT
• All five NBA Finals games were tight late into the fourth quarter, so taking the points is the higher-percentage play. The Heat need LeBron James to be more aggressive as a scorer, but will he produce under pressure? Look for Miami to get the win in a Game 6 that goes to the wire, but Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavericks have gained confidence, and the Heat are slightly out of sync.
