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 big news for this game is that CJ McCollum (COVID-19) and Brandon Ingram (hamstring) are out for the Pelicans. They are the two best scoring options on the team, so they will be facing an uphill battle. As bad as the Hornets have been lately, they are 17-14-3 ATS on the road, including 4-2-1 ATS as a road favorite. Look for them to capitalize on the Pelicans being shorthanded and cover this small number.
