In the upcoming NBA game, scheduled for April 28 at 12:00AM ET:
If the Hawks win, the market will resolve to "Hawks".
If the Knicks win, the market will resolve to "Knicks".
If the game is postponed, this market will remain open until the game has been completed.
If the game is canceled entirely, with no make-up game, this market will resolve 50-50.
The result will be determined based on the final score including any overtime periods.
Kalshi's resolution logic contains a logical contradiction where both possible outcomes (New York win and Atlanta win) are stated to resolve to Yes, making the market unresolvable. Polymarket provides clear binary resolution tied to final game score.
Hero Tip:
Polymarket's market is tradeable and clear: back Hawks or Knicks based on your view. Kalshi's market has a critical data integrity failure and should be flagged for immediate correction by the platform. Do not risk capital on Kalshi until the Yes/No outcome mapping is clarified.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket: Clean binary resolution: Hawks win resolves to Hawks, Knicks win resolves to Knicks. Postponement keeps market open; cancellation with no makeup resolves 50-50. Resolution based on final score including overtime.
Kalshi: Critical flaw: states both New York win and Atlanta win resolve to Yes. This creates a logical impossibility—the market cannot distinguish between the two outcomes. No clear No condition is defined.
