Understanding Public and Money
Think of 'Public' as the percentage of people betting on each side and 'Money' as how much money is being bet. When there's a big difference between the 'Public' and 'Money' data, it usually means that the more serious bettors (referred to as 'Sharp Money') are favoring a particular side.

Mike's Analysis:
The Bulls have struggled at home, posting just an 11-15 record there ATS. Now they are dealing with injuries to a number of players, including their two best defenders in Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) and Kris Dunn (knee). Meanwhile, the Pelicans are at full strength with Zion Williamson back. They defeated Chicago at home by 15 points without him a month ago, so I expect them to cover in another blowout win.
