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.

Prop's Analysis:

Caesar’s. With Austin Reaves ruled out, Luke Kennard will assume the “Robin” duties on the wing next to LeBron James once again. The veteran sharpshooter has acquitted himself well in a massive role without both Reaves and Luka Doncic, clearing this line in all three games in regulation. With the ability to affect the boxscore in a variety of ways, look for Kennard to deliver in Game 4.

Zack's Analysis:

The La Lakers are aiming for the sweep over the Houston Rockets tonight. One of the few Lakers that had a down game three offensively was DeAndre Ayton, who scored just three points. After 19 points in game one, he has scored just eight total points the last two games. A Rockets team that is undermanned and off an overtime loss, look for cracks in the paint defensively for Ayton to exploit. Take his over tonight.

Prop's Analysis:

FanDuel. In what could be the swan song for the Houston Rockets who are down 3 to 0 to the Los Angeles Lakers, I’m going to once again back Jabari Smith Jr., but this time on his points prop. The Rockets will once again be without Kevin Durant and Smith should be in line for another 40+ minutes. He’s cleared this line in two of the three games the series, in what’s proven to be a strong schematic matchup for the big man.

Larry's Analysis:

Marcus Smart has dished out seven or more assists in every game this series. He’s also had 11 or more potential assists in each contest. Even if Austin Reaves returns to play limited minutes, I like Smart to play big minutes and continue to set up his teammates.

Matt's Analysis:

Yep, I'm a glutton for punishment. Just can't believe the Rockets will get swept out on their home floor. And I'm fascinated to see how they do play after coach Ime Udoka utterly shredded his guys after Game 3, one of the most blistering coach things you will ever hear. I'm not sure Udoka can return next season now if the Lakers do sweep, it was that harsh. And Kendrick Perkins destroyed Kevin Durant on social media for not even trying to play in Game 3. Kinda agree with him. The Rockets might just lay down tonight as all of a sudden it seems a dysfunctional bunch. Or they respond like gangbusters. I honestly don't know so will do a half unit.

Mike's Analysis:

Jabari Smith Jr. averaged 35 minutes a game during the regular season. He has played 43, 39 and 44 minutes in this series. The result was him averaging 19.3 points. He made at least three three-pointers in each game, which is not a huge surprise considering that he shot 36.3% from deep this season. With plenty of minutes likely coming his way again, he has a favorable opportunity to score at least 16 points.
