Projected score: IND 109, MEM 122 (total 231). Information only; Leo does not lean on totals.

Leo Pick: MEM to win at -222 (Leo 83%). Tracked in units, not a bet.
Both have MEM winning: Leo by 13, DraftKings by 5.5. They are 7.5 pts apart, so Leo's side of the spread is MEM -5.5. A tracked test, not a bet.

Why Leo has MEM by 13

  1. Team strength: MEM rates 7.7 pts better than IND on results so far.
  2. Injuries: IND is missing more, 4.0 pts toward MEM.
  3. Home court: worth 1.7 pts to MEM.

What could still move it. Quinten Post (MEM, day to day) is counted at 40%. If he sits, Leo's number moves 0.3 toward IND; if he plays, 0.2 toward MEM.

Leo only knows team results, rest and the injury report. It does not know matchups, lineups announced after the read, or motivation, so a small gap from DraftKings is usually noise, which is why nothing under 4 points is a call.

Injury report

The injury report when Leo made its read. A player marked in Leo’s number is a regular whose value Leo has taken off his team: all of it when he is out, 40% of it when he is day to day, because Leo assumes about 4 in 10 day-to-day players end up sitting. Players without the mark play too little to move the number.
