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.
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.
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 224.5.
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.
At the latest snapshot, the New York Knicks have 57% of the spread bets and 60% of the money. The table above has both sides of the spread, the total and the moneyline.
The gap between a side's share of tickets and its share of dollars is the number to watch. On NBA spreads a quarter of games close with the two within 2 points, the typical game sits near 4, and one in ten clears 11. A small gap means big and small bettors see the game the same way.
