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:
There's a better than good chance this game is postponed because the Heat are absolutely obliterated right now by COVID and injury, and I'm frankly not sure why they are even favored if it does go; Jimmy Butler is a game-time call and even if he does play, I still like Houston because all Miami would have is Butler and Tyler Herro. Literally everyone else notable is out. If Butler is ruled out and this game is played, I'm coming back and taking the Rockets on the ML too.
