ATS STATS – Team Grading Report
Minnesota Timberwolves ($MIN)Market Grade: A | Market Sentiment: NEUTRAL (10 Days)
Date: Current Season Snapshot


🏀 Team Overview

The Minnesota Timberwolves continue to operate as a high-functioning A-grade asset in the NBA market. While recent pricing pressure has cooled enthusiasm, the underlying performance profile remains strong.

  • Record: 23–13
  • O/U Record: 18–18
  • Current Streak: 2 ATS Wins
  • Last 7 Games: 4–3
  • Next Game: vs Cleveland

Minnesota is winning games at a consistent clip, particularly when game flow stays structured. This is not a hype-driven team — it’s one built on execution and depth.


📊 Market Value Index (DMVI + Confidence)

  • DMVI: -8
  • Confidence Index: 57%

Market Interpretation:

  • No sharp sell-off

This is controlled pricing, not deterioration.
