This event group covers the NBA game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Toronto Raptors scheduled for April 23, 2026 at 8:00 PM ET. Both platforms are betting on the same underlying binary outcome: which team wins the game. The markets will resolve based on the final score including overtime, with no ambiguity around the competing teams or date.
Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)
Both Kalshi and Polymarket resolve based on the outcome of the same NBA game (Cavaliers vs. Raptors, April 23, 2026) with identical binary logic: one team wins, that team's market resolves affirmatively.
Primary resolution logic:
Official NBA game result for Cleveland at Toronto, April 23, 2026
Core resolution logic:
Market resolves YES if and only if the named team wins the game on April 23, 2026.
Market resolves NO if the named team loses the game.
Exactly ONE team will resolve YES (either Cavaliers or Raptors).
Resolution is determined by final score including any overtime periods.
Edge cases & Clarifications:
Game Postponement: If the game is postponed, both markets remain open until the game is completed and a winner is determined.
Game Cancellation: If the game is canceled entirely with no make-up game scheduled, Polymarket resolves 50-50; Kalshi's resolution mechanism is not explicitly stated for this scenario.
Timing:
Resolution occurs upon official announcement of the final game result by the NBA, including determination of any overtime outcome.
