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:
The Celtics are certainly good enough to beat any team by at least 12 points and yeah this is a tricky spot for Houston off an OT win Saturday night, but at least it didn't have to travel and the Rockets are so good at home. Jrue Holiday and Al Horford are both out in the front end of a B2B for the C's.
