2011 NBA Finals: Mavs and Heat tickets are off the charts, but there are deals to be had if you know where to look. We’ll show you.
The 2011 NBA Finals are set: the Dallas Mavericks will take on the Miami Heat in a best-of-seven series. Back in October, when the season first started, it would have been impossible to predict this match-up, as the Heat were struggling and the Mavericks were not on anyone’s radar.

But now, almost 100 games later, it looks like the NBA Finals will be between the two best teams in the NBA. The Miami Heat had to go through the Philadelphia 76ers, the Boston Celtics, and the Chicago Bulls to make it to the final, while the Mavs had to tough it out against the Portland Trail Blazers, L.A. Lakers, and OKC Thunder. Clearly, both teams earned their spots in the 2011 NBA Finals.
So how about NBA Finals tickets? In a season that had average ticket prices as high as $1,000 for the Christmas Day game between the Heat and Lakers, we’d expect to see prices go even higher. Check out some NBA Finals ticket data below.
