DataSnack's read
A league that rewards no one twice keeps even the Spurs' lead thin
A 22% favorite in a league with eight different champions in eight years shows how little a lead is worth. The model's case rests on the Spurs' chance mostly staying put, with a small pull-back after recent moves.
The numbers
- The market's number (Polymarket) now: 22% (the market)

How the model works
The Spurs' title chance mostly stays where it is. The scan shows a modest tendency for two-week moves to partly reverse, so the model applies that pull-back to the market's own number.
- After a two-week move in the Spurs' chance, about -0.186 in log-odds of that move in log-odds tends to reverse over the next week. DataSnack's author expected -0.22 in log-odds; the data say -0.186 in log-odds ± 0.12. A rough rule.
