This event group covers the NBA game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Milwaukee Bucks scheduled for February 25, 2026 at 8:00 PM ET at Milwaukee. Markets span moneyline outcomes, point spreads across multiple thresholds, over/under totals at various levels, first-half results, and individual player prop bets (points, rebounds, assists) for both teams.
Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)
Both Kalshi and Polymarket apply identical resolution logic: official NBA box score determines all outcomes, overtime is included, postponement keeps markets open, cancellation without makeup resolves 50-50, and player inactivity triggers No resolution on props.
Primary resolution logic:
Official NBA box score published on NBA.com
Core resolution logic:
Moneyline (full game): Cavaliers win resolves Yes/Cavaliers; Bucks win resolves Yes/Bucks; determined by final score including overtime
Point spreads (full game): Cavaliers cover if they win by the specified margin or more (e.g., -8.5 requires 9+ point win); otherwise Bucks wins; ties resolve to Bucks
Over/Under totals: Combined team score compared to threshold; Over if combined score meets or exceeds threshold + 1 (e.g., O/U 227.5 resolves Over at 228+); Under if below
First-half markets: Moneyline, spreads, and totals determined by halftime score only; tied halftime moneyline resolves 50-50
Player props (points, rebounds, assists): Resolve Yes if player exceeds stated threshold; No if at or below threshold; No if player listed inactive or does not play
Game postponement: All markets remain open until game completion
Game cancellation (no makeup): All markets resolve 50-50
Edge cases & Clarifications:
Overtime inclusion: All overtime periods are included in final score calculation for full-game markets; first-half markets use only halftime score regardless of overtime
Tied game (full game): Moneyline resolves to Bucks; spread markets resolve to Bucks (tie treated as failure to cover)
Tied halftime score: First-half moneyline resolves 50-50; first-half spreads resolve to Bucks (tie treated as failure to cover)
Player inactivity: If player listed inactive or does not take court at any point, all player prop markets for that player resolve No
Game postponement and makeup: Markets remain open and resolve on the makeup game's final score; if no makeup game is scheduled, markets resolve 50-50
Timing:
Resolution occurs immediately after final official NBA box score is published on NBA.com following game completion (including any overtime); first-half markets resolve at halftime; postponed games resolve when makeup game completes or 50-50 if canceled without makeup
