This event group covers the NBA game between the New Orleans Pelicans and Sacramento Kings scheduled for March 5, 2026 at 10:00 PM ET. Markets span moneyline, spreads, totals, player props (points, rebounds, assists), and first-half variants across Polymarket and Kalshi platforms.
Polymarket uses standard sportsbook spread thresholds (-4.5 and -5.5), while Kalshi offers 11 granular binary outcomes covering point differentials from 1.5 to 19.5 points. This creates different resolution paths for the same underlying game outcome.
Hero Tip:
Track the final margin precisely. A 5-point Pelicans win triggers YES on Polymarket's -4.5 spread but NO on -5.5. On Kalshi, only markets with thresholds at or below 5 points resolve YES. Use this granularity for precise hedging but verify the exact final score and margin before settlement.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket: Moneyline resolves to winner (Pelicans or Kings). Spread: Pelicans (-4.5) resolves YES if Pelicans win by 5+ points, otherwise NO. Spread: Pelicans (-5.5) resolves YES if Pelicans win by 6+ points, otherwise NO. Totals (231.5, 232.5, 233.5, 234.5, 235.5) resolve Over if combined score meets or exceeds threshold+1, Under otherwise. First-half moneyline and spreads (-2.5, -3.5) apply halftime score only. Player props resolve Yes if stat exceeds threshold (e.g., Zion >22.5 points), No if at or below. All markets include postponement hold and 50-50 cancellation clause.
Kalshi: 11 binary spread outcomes: Sacramento wins by >2.5, >5.5, >8.5, >11.5 points (4 markets); New Orleans wins by >1.5, >4.5, >7.5, >10.5, >13.5, >16.5, >19.5 points (7 markets). Each resolves independently to Yes or No based on final margin. No moneyline, totals, player props, or first-half markets on Kalshi in this dataset. All markets include postponement hold and 50-50 cancellation clause.
