Why Leo has TOR by 0.5

  1. Home court: worth 1.7 pts to LAL.
  2. Team strength: TOR rates 1.4 pts better than LAL on results so far.
  3. Injuries: LAL is missing more, 1.1 pts toward TOR.

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.
