The Moonshot is the day's one big swing, separate from the board and separate from the Parlay of the Day. Friday's ticket rides six moneylines across the NHL and the NBA, fully independent of both other tickets.

The math up top

Six legs at +110, +110, +125, +260, +105 and +170 combine to +19672. A $10 ticket returns $1,977.16. Honest math, shown before the reasoning, like every Moonshot.

Leg by leg

Lightning moneyline (+110) at the Avalanche. Tampa has won three straight while Colorado has lost three of four, and the Lightning look like the better team at plus money. Pelicans moneyline (+110) at the Jazz. This line opened at Jazz -5.5 and got bet down to -2.5, so the market already moved toward New Orleans. Grizzlies moneyline (+125) at the Warriors. Golden State plays without Butler and Porzingis, and Ty Jerome dropped 45 in the Memphis opener. Kings moneyline (+260) against the Trail Blazers. Portland lays 7.5 on the road, and Sacramento is live at home as a big home dog. Magic moneyline (+105) against the Timberwolves. Orlando gets the Wolves at home at plus money with Minnesota laying 1.5 on the road. Rockets moneyline (+170) at the Spurs. The money has been moving toward Houston all day, and De'Aaron Fox is questionable for San Antonio.

Six legs, one night, no rent money. The Moonshot is priced and tracked privately like everything else on the board.
