Monday NBA Sharp Action, Big Money on Totals

Odds and information as of Monday afternoon.

New Orleans Pelicans vs. Cleveland Cavaliers

7 p.m. ET

The sharps love the under for this matchup at 211.5.

A solid 84% of the money is on the under, according to The Action Network's tracking data.

Their last matchup in late December finished under the closing total of 212.5.

Sharp Action, Big Money Betting Pick: Under 211.5 or better.

Golden State Warriors vs. Houston Rockets

8 p.m. ET

The wise guys thought the opening total for this matchup was too high. So they bet it heavily.

The opening total of 230.5 has been driven down to a market-low of 228.5.

You can still get this line at around 230 at some books.

A ridiculous 99% of the smart money is on the under, and that's fading the public, too.

Sharp Action, Big Money Betting Pick: Under 230 or better.

Los Angeles Clippers vs. Indiana Pacers

7 p.m. ET

Sharps have absolutely nuked this line. The total opened at 214 but has rocketed up to its high at 221 after sharps and wise guys hammered the over.

This is the only pick out of the six where the sharps and big money bettors are aligned with the public.

About 59% of the retail bettors and 81% of the smart money are on the over.

Sharp Action, Big Money Betting Pick: Over 221 or better.

Sacramento Kings vs. New York Knicks

7 p.m. ET

Roughly 98% of the smart money is on the under here, which has moved the line down from its open at 216.5 to 213.

That's fading the public, 71% of which is on the over.

Sharp Action, Big Money Betting Pick: Under 213 or better.

Miami Heat vs. Boston Celtics

7:30  p.m. ET

The sharps have driven this line from its open at 211 to its consensus market price of 208.5.

About 89% of the smart money is on the under for this matchup. That's also fading the public heavily.

Sharp Action, Big Money Betting Pick: Under 208.5 or better.

Portland Trail Blazers vs. Oklahoma City Thunder

8 p.m. ET

This line hasn't moved since open, but that doesn't mean sharp bettors aren't all over it.

About 98% of smart money is on the under, so expect the line of 216.5 to move down before tipoff.

Sharp Action, Big Money Betting Pick: Over 216.5 or better.
