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:
With the Nuggets being shorthanded, Nikola Jokic has put the team on his back. Over their last four games, he has scored at least 36 points three times. The one time he didn’t, he scored 28 points. Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun are still out, and even Peyton Watson and Tim Hardaway Jr. are listed as questionable for Thursday. Don’t expect the likes of Wendell Carter Jr. and Goga Bitadze to slow down the three-time MVP.
