These are exchange trades, not sportsbook bets. On an exchange every trade has a buyer and a seller, so this shows which side buyers paid for.
Kalshi, Polymarket and Novig publish every trade with the side the buyer took. ProphetX carries its trade fills the same way; a line with no captured fill shows dollars matched only. Trades is each side's share of trades since the market opened and Money is its share of the dollars buyers paid. Markets with fewer than 10 trades or under $500 traded are left out; markets under 30 trades or $5,000 are labelled Light trading, because a few buyers can move the percentages a long way.
Polymarket US lists moneyline for this game. No trade split yet for these markets (none captured, or too few to show), so they show prices only. Polymarket US is a separate venue from Polymarket and is never added into its numbers.

RebetFree-to-play social sportsbook with sweepstakes prizesClaim →Denver Nuggets4th in the Northwest · 2 GB · L1Indiana Pacers3rd in the Central · 4.5 GB · L5Indiana has lost five straight. As of November 3, its injury report runs eleven names long, and six of them are listed Out, including Tyrese Haliburton and Ivica Zubac. Denver lists only two players Out. On paper this looks lopsided, and lopsided-looking games are exactly where bettors tend to overpay. Here is how we would approach Nuggets vs Pacers before a single price goes up.
As of November 3, the Denver Nuggets are 3-3, fourth of five in the Northwest, and two games behind the division leader. Games behind means how far a team trails the leader in the win-loss column. Denver lost its most recent game. The Indiana Pacers are 2-6, third of five in the Central, 4.5 games back, and on a five-game losing streak. Both records will change before tipoff. This is the first meeting of the season. The game is at Arena CDMX on Saturday, November 7 at 5:00 PM ET, on NBA TV and DAZN IND.
Jamal Murray is Denver's listed team leader, and he has played all six of the team's games. He is the engine we expect Denver's offense to run through. Pascal Siakam is Indiana's listed leader over seven of the team's eight games. The catch: Siakam is Day-To-Day, which means his status is unsettled and could go either way. With so many Pacers guards sidelined, Indiana leans on him heavily when he plays.
Nobody yet, at least not officially. No odds were posted as of November 3. When they arrive, you will see three main bets. The moneyline is a straight bet on who wins. The spread is a handicap: the favorite must win by more than a set number of points, and the underdog can lose by less than that number and still cash. The total is a bet on whether both teams combined score over or under a set number. Different sportsbooks post slightly different numbers, and that gap matters. Checking several books for the best price, called line shopping, is the easiest edge a bettor can get.
Every price includes the vig, the house's built-in cut. Strip it out and you get the no-vig price, the market's implied chance with the house's cut removed. Expected value is the average you would win or lose per $100 risked if you made the same bet many times.
A bet only has positive expected value when your read of the game beats what the price assumes. Our read: Indiana's thin roster should make Denver a clear favorite. The risk is that the market prices that in heavily. We would only bet Denver if the best available moneyline still leaves room compared with the no-vig number. Without posted odds, we cannot quote that number yet.
As of November 3, Indiana lists Ben Sheppard, Ivica Zubac, Johnny Furphy, Obi Toppin, T.J. McConnell and Tyrese Haliburton as Out. Pascal Siakam, Aaron Nesmith, Andrew Nembhard, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Larry Nance Jr. are Day-To-Day. Denver lists Julian Strawther and Spencer Jones as Out. Recheck every status before Saturday's 5:00 PM ET tip.
We lean Nuggets moneyline. There is no price or book to name yet, so treat this as a matchup lean, not a bet at any number. When odds post, compare every book and take the best Denver price. If Siakam and the other Day-To-Day Pacers are cleared, re-check the number before acting. This is Wise Guy Desk analysis, not an official play.
This Pacers vs Pacers-style mismatch on paper, Denver's near-full rotation against an Indiana team missing six players, points one way. Murray steadies the Nuggets, and the Pacers run short on ball handlers late. We project Nuggets 116, Pacers 107. That is our read on this nuggets vs pacers prediction until a price exists; the Desk posts a documented free play on days with a real number to bet, and it lands right below.
Indiana's injury report runs eleven names deep, so we lean Denver on the moneyline once odds post, but only at a price that still leaves room.
As of November 3, sportsbooks had not posted odds for this game, so there is no official favorite yet. At that point Denver was 3-3 and Indiana was 2-6 on a five-game losing streak, with six Pacers listed Out and five Day-To-Day.
Indiana's injury report runs eleven names deep, so we lean Denver on the moneyline once odds post, but only at a price that still leaves room. The full read, including a projected final score, is in The Prediction section above.
Yes. This is a free Wise Guy Desk breakdown, our analysis, not Ross's official plays. Ross's documented plays are bet with real money and graded win or loss on the members board.
Expected value first: the best price across the regulated US books we track versus the true fair price with the vig removed, then the matchup data (form, standings, injuries, key players). Line shopping for the best number is the edge most bettors leave on the table.
