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 Hornets are going to be very shorthanded for this game, especially at guard. They have already ruled out LaMelo Ball (ankle), Collin Sexton (thigh) and Tre Mann (knee). That should leave a lot of minutes and shot attempts for Kon Knueppel, who is averaging 18.2 points per game for the season. The Nuggets are missing two of their better defenders in Christian Braun (ankle) and Aaron Gordon (hamstring), which also helps Knueppel’s chances of reaching this over.
