The lines in this recap are DraftKings’ closing numbers as ESPN shows them: one sportsbook, from before LineSpy kept its own record of every book. A favorite “covers” when it wins by more than the spread, and a win chance here is the moneyline with the book’s margin taken out. Tonight’s games, with every book side by side, are on the board.
