Lean, on the spread

Projected score: OKC 111, MEM 111 (total 222). Information only; Leo does not lean on totals.

Leo calls it even; DraftKings has OKC by 4.5. They are 4.5 pts apart, so Leo's side of the spread is MEM +4.5. A tracked test, not a bet.

Why Leo has a pick'em

  1. Team strength: OKC rates 2.6 pts better than MEM on results so far.
  2. Home court: worth 1.7 pts to MEM.
  3. Injuries: OKC is missing more, 1.0 pts 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.
