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.

Matt's Analysis:
I had no intention of playing this game, but Memphis just ruled out second-leading scorer Dillon Brooks due to protocols. That's on top of Ja Morant, Brandon Clarke, Ziaire Williams and perhaps Kyle Anderson (missed past four and is questionable) out. There's no way the Lakers should lose even on the road, but I'm not interested in giving four points, either.
