The Moonshot is the day's one big swing, separate from the board and separate from the Parlay of the Day. Tuesday's ticket is five moneyline underdogs across the NBA and the NHL. No leg repeats a straight pick or a parlay leg as the same play.

The math up top

Five moneyline underdogs at +160, +115, +172, +136 and +240 combine to +12100. A $10 ticket returns $1,220.03. Honest math, shown before the reasoning, like every Moonshot.

Leg by leg

76ers moneyline (+160) at the Knicks. Ring night is loud, but Philadelphia's five star lineup only needs one hot night together to flip the building. The price pays for the talent even if the chemistry is a coin flip.

Thunder moneyline (+115) at the Spurs. Oklahoma City is a road dog in a WCF rematch with Holmgren back in the middle. That is a short price for a team that knows this matchup cold.

Sharks moneyline (+172) at the Canadiens. San Jose catches Montreal as the biggest favorite on the parlay board, and single game hockey flips on one hot goalie night.

Kings moneyline (+136) at the Capitals. Los Angeles on the road at a fair dog price against a Washington team priced like a lock. It is not a lock.

Canucks moneyline (+240) against the Hurricanes at Rogers Arena at 10:00 PM ET. The biggest dog on the ticket closes the night at home, where long prices shrink fast if the first period breaks right.

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