71% of the spread bets on Golden State Warriors at Los Angeles Lakers are on the Golden State Warriors (+6.5), with 64% 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, 62% of bets and 59% of the money are on the Over 233.5. 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.

At the latest snapshot, the Golden State Warriors have 71% of the spread bets and 64% of the money. The table above has both sides of the spread, the total and the moneyline.
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 233.5.
It's on the high side. The typical NBA game closes with about 61% of spread tickets on the more popular side, and one game in four clears 68%. Even so, a split this one-sided says what the crowd thinks, not what will happen.
The Golden State Warriors have 64% of the spread dollars against 71% of the tickets, a 7-point difference. A gap that size means the larger bets are not landing in the same proportions as the ticket count.
Bet percentage counts tickets: every wager counts once. Money percentage counts dollars, so one $1,000 bet outweighs a hundred $10 ones. Reading the two together shows whether the bigger bettors agree with the crowd.
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 →
