Knicks vs. Lakers

Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)

Core resolution logic:

• Moneyline: Knicks market resolves Yes if Knicks win; Lakers market resolves Yes if Lakers win (Kalshi uses binary Yes/No; Polymarket uses team names)
• Spreads: Knicks spread resolves to Knicks if they win by the specified margin or more (e.g., -3.5 requires 4+ point win); otherwise resolves to Lakers; ties resolve to Lakers
• Totals: Over resolves if combined score meets or exceeds the threshold plus one (e.g., O/U 227.5 resolves Over at 228+); Under resolves if combined score is below threshold plus one
• Player Props (Points/Rebounds/Assists): Resolve Yes if player exceeds the stated threshold; resolve No if player meets or falls below threshold, or if player is listed as inactive
• First Half Markets: Determined by halftime score only; moneyline resolves 50-50 if tied at halftime; spreads resolve to Lakers if Knicks do not meet margin; totals follow same threshold logic as full game
• Postponements: Markets remain open until game is completed
• Cancellations: If game is canceled entirely with no makeup game, all markets resolve 50-50

Edge cases & Clarifications:

• Tie in Spread Market: If the final score results in a tie (e.g., Knicks -2.5 with a 0-point margin), the market resolves to Lakers (the non-Knicks outcome)
• Player Inactivity: If a player is listed as inactive or does not take the court at any point, all player prop markets for that player resolve to No
• Game Postponement: If the game is postponed, all markets remain open and do not resolve until the game is completed
• Complete Cancellation: If the game is canceled entirely with no makeup game scheduled, all markets resolve 50-50
• Overtime Inclusion: All player statistics and game totals include any overtime periods played; the entire game is considered for resolution
