81% of the spread bets on Atlanta Hawks at Charlotte Hornets are on the Atlanta Hawks (-2.5), with 89% of the money. That's a one-sided split for the NBA, where the typical game has about 61% of spread tickets on the more popular side.
The spread is set to divide opinion, so a lean this strong means the crowd likes one side at this number. Fading heavily bet NBA spread sides hasn't beaten the bookmaker's margin over the last two seasons, so treat the number as a read on the crowd, not on the game.
On the total, 87% of bets and 89% of the money are on the Over 225.5. That's the normal pattern in the NBA: over the last two seasons, 60% or more of total bets landed on the over in about 96% of games.

The favorite gives points and the underdog gets them. A favorite at -6.5 has to win by 7 or more to cover; the underdog at +6.5 covers with a win or a loss by 6 or fewer. Unlike hockey's fixed puck line, the number itself moves with the betting.
Almost always. Over the last two seasons, 60% or more of total bets landed on the over in about 96% of NBA games. On this game the public side of the total is the Over 225.5.
The Atlanta Hawks have 89% of the spread dollars against 81% of the tickets, a 8-point difference. A gap that size means the larger bets are not landing in the same proportions as the ticket count.
No. They reflect publicly reported sportsbook handle, aggregated, rather than a single book's customers. Individual books can differ, especially early in the day when few bets are in.
Through the day on game days, from publicly reported sportsbook handle on a sub-hourly cadence, until tip-off. The page shows the latest snapshot each time it loads.
Less than you might think. The spread is built to split opinion, so the typical NBA game closes with about 61% of spread tickets on the more popular side, and one game in four clears 68%. A split past 70% is a real lean from the crowd. Fading those heavy public sides has not beaten the bookmaker's margin either. See our methodology →
