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:
As of this writing, we know that the Lakers are without Russell Westbrook, Talen Horton-Tucker, Avery Bradley and Dwight Howard in COVID protocols, although apparently Malik Monk is out of them. I'll take the fully healthy Timberwolves (at least healthy as of this writing) at home. The Wolves are 5-2 ATS in their past seven as favorites and will be amped up to face LeBron.
