The dollars are even more one-sided than the tickets on Detroit Pistons at New York Knicks. The Detroit Pistons (+3.5) have 65% of the spread bets and 77% of the money, so the bigger bets are on the same side as the crowd, only more so.
That's a 12-point gap in the other direction from the usual one. There's no disagreement to read here: large and small bettors want the same side, and the line already reflects it.
On the total, 86% of bets and 84% of the money are on the Over 218.5. 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.

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 218.5.

Not on the split alone. Across the last two NBA seasons, neither backing the side with more money than tickets nor fading heavily bet spread sides reliably beat the bookmaker's margin at closing prices. Splits are context for your own read, not a pick.
The Detroit Pistons have 77% of the spread dollars against 65% of the tickets, a 12-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.
Every ticket counts once in the bet percentage, but in the money percentage a $1,000 bet counts a hundred times more than a $10 one. When the two disagree, the bigger bets are landing somewhere other than the crowd. On NBA spreads the two usually sit close: last season the typical closing gap was about 4 points, and only about one game in eight reached 10. On its own, following the money has not reliably beaten NBA prices. See our methodology →
