Line is Phoenix Suns -3 @ Lakers

Suns win by 42

If you took Suns -3, then you got 39 action points. If you took Lakers +3, you lost 39 action points.

Yep, it is simply how many points you either beat or lost to the spread by.

In action points contests you want to go with teams where you feel the line is too low & there will be a blowout. And teams getting alot of points you think will keep it close.
