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:

Boston guard and reigning NBA Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart is out again, and he's joined on the bench by the team's other top defender in center Robert Williams. Boston has dropped three in a row SU and is 0-5 ATS in its past five overall. You know LeBron will be fired up to play in Boston, probably his most hated opponent (and why he originally left Cleveland for Miami). Anthony Davis looked great in his return Wednesday and should be able to add a few extra minutes here. And the Lakers might even get Lonnie Walker back from injury for 20-25 minutes. This feels like a fairly close game to me.
