No. Sportsbooks inflate the line and odds for favorites and popular teams, then rely on those teams not covering the inflated line and losing more than the odds would suggest.

He didn't have space to land because, and only because, he wildly kicks out in a transparent attempt to draw a foul. The picture you're showing is after he kicks out. Look at where Harden takes off from and where the defender's feet are when Harden delivers the two-footed kick. Great shot by Harden, btw.
No NBA team deserves to be moved more.
The goal isn't for the money to equal out on both teams. If they did that, they would have less total bets and make less money, because people like betting on favorites. The goal is to make as much money as possible by having as many people as possible bet on a slightly inflated favorite.
