This event group covers the NBA game between the Detroit Pistons and New York Knicks scheduled for February 19, 2026 at 7:30 PM ET. Markets span moneyline, spreads, totals, player props (points, rebounds, assists), and first-half outcomes across Kalshi and Polymarket platforms.
Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)
Both Kalshi and Polymarket use identical resolution logic: official NBA.com final score (including overtime), with consistent handling of postponements, cancellations, and player inactivity.
Primary resolution logic:
Official NBA box score as published on NBA.com
Core resolution logic:
Moneyline (Pistons vs. Knicks): Resolves to winning team based on final score including all overtime periods
Spreads (full game): Knicks (-2.5) resolves Yes if Knicks win by 3+ points; (-3.5) if by 4+ points; (-4.5) if by 5+ points; otherwise Pistons. Ties resolve to Pistons.
Totals (full game): Over/Under thresholds at 218.5, 219.5, 220.5, 221.5, 222.5, 223.5 resolve Over if combined score meets or exceeds threshold + 1 point
First-half markets: Spread, moneyline, and totals resolve based on halftime score only, not full game
Player props (points, rebounds, assists): Resolve Yes if player exceeds stated threshold; No if at or below threshold or if player is inactive/does not play
Kalshi individual player thresholds: Detroit points (98.5, 101.5, 104.5, 107.5, 110.5, 113.5, 116.5, 119.5, 122.5); New York points (101.5, 104.5, 107.5, 110.5, 113.5, 116.5, 119.5, 122.5, 125.5) all resolve Yes if exceeded
Edge cases & Clarifications:
Game Postponement: All markets remain open until the game is completed. No early resolution occurs.
Game Cancellation (No Makeup): Moneyline, spread, and total markets resolve 50-50. Player prop markets resolve No.
Overtime: All scoring in overtime periods counts toward final totals and player prop thresholds.
Player Inactivity: If a player is listed as inactive or does not take the court, all their prop markets resolve No.
Tied Game at Halftime: First-half moneyline resolves 50-50. First-half spread resolves to Pistons if tied.
Timing:
Resolution occurs after the final buzzer of the game (including any overtime). First-half markets resolve at halftime. Player inactivity determinations are made at game start per official NBA roster.
