Houston Rockets vs. Charlotte Hornets NBA game scheduled for February 19, 2026 at 7:00 PM ET. Markets span moneyline, spread, over/under totals (full game and first half), and individual player prop bets covering points, rebounds, and assists.
Kalshi over/under markets use exclusive thresholds (more than X.5) while Polymarket uses inclusive thresholds (X or more). This creates a 1-point divergence in settlement for combined team scoring at boundary values.
Hero Tip:
When comparing Kalshi and Polymarket combined scoring markets, remember Kalshi requires one additional point. A score of exactly 214 hits Polymarket's 213.5 O/U but misses Kalshi's equivalent. Monitor final scores near thresholds carefully and adjust hedge ratios accordingly.
Critical Divergence Points:
Kalshi: All 11 combined scoring markets use exclusive threshold logic: YES if teams score MORE THAN the stated threshold. Example: O/U 220.5 resolves YES only if combined score is 221+. Quote: 'collectively score more than 220.5 points, then the market resolves to Yes.'
Polymarket: All combined scoring markets use inclusive threshold logic: OVER if teams score the stated amount OR MORE. Example: O/U 213.5 resolves OVER if combined score is 214+. Quote: 'combine to score 214 or more points in this game. If the combined total is less than 214, this market will resolve to Under.'
