A split of 18 points is rare on an NBA spread: only about one game in eight reaches 10. It tells you the bigger bettors see this game differently from the crowd. It doesn't tell you they're right: across the last two seasons, following the money on NBA spreads did not reliably beat the bookmaker's margin.
On the total, 74% of bets and 76% of the money are on the Over 236.5. 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.
