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.

LOSS
Unit1.0
Mike's Analysis:
Klay Thompson has been much better since moving to the bench for the Mavericks. He averages 12.2 points as a reserve, compared to 8.8 points as a starter. Also working in his favor Thursday is the Mavericks playing in Dallas. He averages 9.9 points on the road, but 11.9 points per game at home. With regards to this line, Thompson has scored at least 10 points in eight of his last nine games. I’ll take the over.
