What the head-to-head says

Against the closing spread the New Orleans Pelicans are 6-1-1. On average the New Orleans Pelicans drew 39% of the spread bets in these games and the San Antonio Spurs 61%.

The public backed one side clearly (60% or more of spread bets) in 5 of them. The New Orleans Pelicans went 1-0 against the spread in the games where the crowd backed them. The San Antonio Spurs went 0-3-1 against the spread in the games where the crowd backed them.

None of this is a pick. Across the league over the last two seasons, the side with 60% or more of spread bets covered about half the time, not enough to beat the bookmaker's margin by backing it or fading it. The next meeting will show its live split on the NBA page on game day.

Reading a head-to-head split

The spread, bet and money columns are always the New Orleans Pelicans' side, whoever was home; a minus spread means they were favored. The rest of the bets went to the San Antonio Spurs. When money runs well ahead of bets, the larger tickets were on that side; when it trails, the crowd was. See our methodology →
