📊 Market Value Read (DMVI + Confidence)
- DMVI: 0
The Clippers are priced exactly where the market expects them to be — no inflation, no discount. That’s important, because it means recent ATS success hasn’t been fully baked in yet. - Confidence Index: 71%
That’s strong for a sub-.500 team. Confidence is being driven by:- Improved defensive efficiency
- Cleaner late-game execution
- Consistency in road favorite roles
This isn’t hype money — it’s disciplined money.
