Too lateWhat to do

Too late: the sharp move on the Cavaliers already happened. Don't chase it.

Now: Cavaliers -8.5 (-112) at BetRivers (value −3.5%) · Pinnacle -8.5 (-110)

Never offered at your books (the best since Pinnacle moved to -8.5 (Sun 9:53 PM ET) was Cavaliers -8.5 (-110) at FanDuel, −2.7%). It may never come, so don't count on it.

If you still want it: Only bet it if a book shows Cavaliers -8.5 at -101 or better before kickoff.

Based on the sharp signals and prices on this page, not a guarantee. Good bets still lose often; the goal is better numbers than the market over many bets. Every call is graded on the Track record.

Bottom line

Sharp signals point to the Cavaliers: a reverse line move and the line moving 1 point their way. Exchanges lean further toward the Hornets than Pinnacle does. None of your books beats Pinnacle's fair price once the juice is counted.

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 Cavaliers −7.5 to −8.5: the money moving it is on the Cavaliers, even though 67% of spread bets are on the Hornets. A line moving against where most bets are usually means bigger, sharper bets on the Cavaliers.
