This event group covers the NBA game between the Houston Rockets and New York Knicks scheduled for February 21, 2026 at 8:30 PM ET. Markets span moneyline, spreads, over/under totals (full game and first half), and individual player prop bets across multiple statistical categories (points, rebounds, assists).
Kalshi total-score markets use exclusive thresholds (more than X), while Polymarket uses inclusive thresholds (X or more). This creates a 1-point semantic gap in how the same final score is interpreted, though both platforms resolve to the same outcome for any given final total.
Hero Tip:
Cross-check the final combined score against both platforms' threshold language. Kalshi >219.5 and Polymarket 220+ both trigger at 220 points, so outcomes align in practice. However, for edge cases near thresholds (e.g., exactly 214 or 215), confirm which platform's boundary applies to your position. All player props, moneyline, and spread markets are consistent across platforms.
Critical Divergence Points:
Kalshi:
11 total-score markets (items 1-11) use exclusive threshold logic: YES if combined score is MORE THAN the stated value. Example: >219.5 resolves YES only if final total is 220+. Source: Official NBA box score.
Polymarket:
8 total-score markets (items 70, 72, 82, 84, 86, 88, 90, 92) use inclusive threshold logic: OVER if combined score is the threshold PLUS ONE or more. Example: O/U 219.5 resolves Over if final total is 220+. Source: Official NBA box score.
