Charlotte +4.4 EV at estimated -150 fair ML pricing vs depleted Grizzlies roster
FULL ANALYSIS
Grizzlies crippled without Morant (out) plus Jackson/Clarke/Gibson/Coward — that's 6 key contributors gone, projecting -22% efficiency. Hornets mostly healthy with Miller at 20.4 PPG and Ball distributing. Model sees Charlotte 62% win prob at fair -150 ML, +4.4 EV vs market priors. Low confidence due to N=0 but injury edges durable.
