In the upcoming NBA game, scheduled for April 29 at 12:00AM ET:
If the Raptors win, the market will resolve to "Raptors".
If the Cavaliers win, the market will resolve to "Cavaliers".
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.
Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)
All Polymarket rules consistently reference the official NBA box score as the authoritative resolution source, with uniform handling of postponements (remain open), cancellations (50-50 split), and player inactivity (resolve No for props).
Primary resolution logic:
Official NBA box score published on NBA.com
Core resolution logic:
Moneyline (Raptors vs. Cavaliers): Resolves to winning team based on final score including overtime
Point Spread (Cavaliers -9.5): Resolves to Cavaliers if they win by 10+ points; otherwise resolves to Raptors (including ties)
Over/Under totals (214.5, 215.5, 216.5): Resolves Over if combined score meets or exceeds threshold plus one point; Under if below threshold
Player props (Points, Rebounds, Assists O/U): Resolves Yes if player exceeds stated threshold; No if at or below threshold; No if player inactive or does not play
All markets include full overtime periods in final calculation
Edge cases & Clarifications:
Game Postponement: Markets remain open and unresolved until the game is completed. No early settlement.
Game Cancellation (No Make-up): All markets in the group resolve 50-50, splitting the pool equally between Yes and No outcomes.
Player Inactivity: For all player prop markets, if the player is listed as inactive or does not take the court at any point, the market resolves No.
Tie Game (Spread): If the game ends in a tie, the Spread market (Cavaliers -9.5) resolves to Raptors, as the Cavaliers did not win by 10+ points.
Overtime Inclusion: All scoring, rebounds, and assists statistics include all overtime periods; no cutoff at regulation.
Timing:
Resolution occurs immediately after the official NBA box score is published on NBA.com following game completion. If the game is postponed, resolution is deferred until the make-up game is completed.
