Bottom line before the start

Mixed signals: Circa money favor the Lakers; a steam move and the line moving 2.5 points their way favor the Pistons. None of your books beats Pinnacle's fair price once the juice is counted.

The read before the start

Line timeline

Every time Pinnacle changed its number, with the old number still at your books right then and how long it lasted. That window is when the best price is there to grab. Times are ET; prices are checked every 2–30 minutes, so the exact minute can be off a little.

How the line moved

Pinnacle is the sharp book: it takes the biggest bets and moves first. When your books trail it, that number is often worth grabbing.

Opened = the first price the app saved at that book (for games posted before Sep 17, the earliest it has). Best = the best value at your books. The % = how much better (+) or worse (−) each price is than Pinnacle's fair price, counting both the number and the juice (a better number with heavy juice can still be worse). Green is +1% or more: worth betting. Most prices are a little negative: that's the book's cut. Tap any price at your books to log a bet.

Money vs tickets · Spread

Few bets but lots of money on one side means big bettors are there. If the line moves against the side most people bet, that's reverse line movement. Pinnacle doesn't publish its splits; Circa is the sharp-book view when it posts a game.

Sharp read from the line

Pinnacle's line went from Pistons −4.5 to −7: the money moving it is on the Pistons.
