-297 is past -230

Both have ATL winning: Leo by 9, DraftKings by 7.5. They are 1.5 pts apart, under the 4 pt bar, so no lean.

Projected score: WSH 109, ATL 118 (total 227). Information only; Leo does not lean on totals.

No pick: Leo has ATL 75%, but the price is -297, -230 or dearer.

Why Leo has ATL by 9

  1. Team strength: ATL rates 6.7 pts better than WSH on results so far.
  2. Home court: worth 1.7 pts to ATL.
  3. Injuries: WSH is missing more, 1.0 pts toward ATL.

What could still move it. Jalen Johnson (ATL, day to day) is counted at 40%. If he sits, Leo's number moves 1.2 toward WSH; if he plays, 0.8 toward ATL. Anthony Davis (WSH, day to day) is counted at 40%. If he sits, Leo's number moves 1.5 toward ATL; if he plays, 1.0 toward WSH.

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.
