NBA Public Bet: Grizzlies -5.5 vs. Trail Blazers

The public is riding with the Memphis Grizzlies in tonight's NBA action against the Portland Trail Blazers. A whopping 82% of total bets on this game are on the Grizzlies to take care of business tonight and take down the Trail Blazers, who have been about as average as it gets this season. Any time the public is heavily backing a certain side, you could do well fading them in some spots. However, that doesn't always work, so make sure you are checking where the sharp money is going as well before you decide to fade the public.

Memphis as struggled as of late, losing four of their last five games, but the public is backing them here to get their second win in a row after they beat the Indiana Pacers last time out. The Trail Blazers have won three of their last five games, but this will be a tough one for them on the road. The last time these two teams played, which was back at the beginning of November, Memphis pulled away for a 111-106 victory. Clearly the public is hoping for the same outcome here, but win by a little bit more.

College Basketball Public Bet: Xavier -4 vs. Providence

The public loves backing the favorite, especially when the spread is this small. You can always count on them to take the favorite for the most part, or the team that has the bigger storyline. I'll be fading them in this game, and I would recommend you do the same. Xavier is getting all the bets in this game, but curiously enough, the spread is starting to go down. I'm seeing 3.5's at some places on this one.

A huge 65% of bets on this game are for Xavier, so you would think the spread would be moving in their favor right? You would be wrong. When that is the case, you know the money is going on the other side, and that means the sharps are taking the Friars. I've faded Providence quite a bit this season, but this is not the place to do so. Although, the public certainly seems to want to, which isn't shocking since they are the underdog.

NHL Public Bet: Bruins -130 at Maple Leafs

Huge ML favorites are something the public absolutely loves, and that is why Vegas will always come out on top. That isn't quite the case here, but, they are certainly backing the team that has gotten all the publicity and attention this season against the team that is known for choking to them in the playoffs. The Bruins have been the darling of the league in 2023, and the public is almost always going to take them in just about any situation. This could be a massive -200 moneyline and they would still back the Bruins, even against a team like the Maple Leafs who have been great this year.

As of this writing, a massive 79% of all the bets in this game are on the Bruins to win at -130. That's not the worst bet you can make, certainly, and the Bruins can win this game for sure. However, I like the value with the Maple Leafs, as they are a very good team playing at home and getting plus money. It's very rare that you will get them at home at this type of number, and I'll take it when i can get it with a very good hockey team. The public can lay the juice, I won't.
