DEVIATEKings @ Clippers: the model and market comparison
A closer look at the Kings @ Clippers alert, with its original numbers.
The alert
Kings @ Clippers — LA Clippers +9, 10:10 left Q3. Model 82%, market 76%, gap 6 percentage points; side: LA Clippers. Sent 12:04 AM ET on Oct 22, 2026. Outcome: won.
LA Clippers currently lead and our historical model gives them a ~82% chance to win from this exact situation (LA Clippers +9, 10:10 left Q3). Kalshi's market is pricing the same outcome at 76% (76¢ on YES for LA Clippers). That's a 6-point gap between the historical rate and the market price, so the contract looks underpriced relative to history. This reflects historical frequencies, not a guarantee. Late-game variance, injuries, and fouling situations can and do flip outcomes.
