How to read Our lean. It names the side our number points to and the DraftKings line that side has to beat. When our spread and DraftKings' are within 1.5 points of each other it says No lean. Under it is the total lean: Over or Under DraftKings' total when our projected total is 1.5 points or more away from it. DraftKings' numbers are the current line, refreshed every hour, and each lean is stamped with the time of the line it uses, so a lean can move with the line. A lean is what our number says, not a recommendation to bet it.

Gap is our spread minus DraftKings', counted in home-team points: a plus number leans to the home team and a minus number to the away team.

Projected scores are ours, margin and total. Our totals have not been shown to beat the market's, which is why DraftKings' total sits right next to them.

Both percentage columns are the home team's chance of winning, so they read straight across. DK's moneyline is shown as posted, away then home, and its percentage is de-vigged: the book's fee is removed so its number means the same thing as ours. 2 of the 8 games have a posted moneyline. Our fair ML is our win chance written as a moneyline with no fee, away then home: what our number thinks the moneyline should be, to read next to DraftKings'.

Where we disagree most

Every game with a DraftKings line and a number from us: 2 of the 8 on the slate.

Worth watching to see whether the disagreements are systematic. That is a different question from whether any single one of them is right.

What is behind the numbers

Team offense and defense ratings fitted on every regular-season game since 2021-22, with recent games counting more, plus home court and the second night of a back-to-back. Fitted on 6,153 games; home court 1.9 points. Win chance is the normal CDF of our margin over 14.0 points, the typical size of our past misses.

Graded game by game on every regular-season game since 2021-22, each predicted only from games played before it (6,151 games). Our spread missed the final margin by 10.96 points on average. On the 6,150 of those games where ESPN kept a closing line (DraftKings, or ESPN BET in the seasons ESPN carried that book), ours missed by 10.96 and the closing line by 10.47. The closing line was the more accurate number. Taking our side of the closing spread would have been right 49.7% of the time over 6,083 games, against the roughly 52.4% needed to beat the standard price.
