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:
Bit high but and maybe New Orleans can cover but I don't see it winning at the end of a five-game trip and without Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson again -- perhaps defensive dynamo Herb Jones, too. The Cavaliers are tied for the most home wins in the NBA this season with an 18-4 record at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. Cleveland plays at home for the first time since Jan. 4. The Pels are 9-12 away.
