📊 Recap

Our Memphis +16.5 position fell short as San Antonio controlled all four quarters en route to a 25-point victory, 123-98. The Grizzlies' floor rating proved insufficient against sustained Spurs efficiency, demonstrating how large road favorites can occasionally exceed historical coverage patterns.

Final Score108-110
Result+1u

📊 Recap

Our over 216.5 missed as the Warriors edged Brooklyn 109-106 for a 215 total. Despite Golden State's high three-point volume creating the expected variance, both teams fell just short of our projected 105+ floor, with the total landing one point below the number.

NBA Toronto Raptors @ LA Clippers

Our Pick
TOR +3.5
Final Score94-119
Result-0.5u

📊 Recap

Our Toronto +3.5 position was soundly defeated as the Clippers dominated 119-94, covering by over 21 points. While our injury algorithm correctly identified Leonard's impact, we underestimated LA's depth and overvalued Toronto's ability to maintain competitiveness on the road.
