Preguntas frecuentes
What's the bracket for the 2026 NBA Conference Semifinals?
- West: #1 Oklahoma City Thunder vs. #4 Los Angeles Lakers, and #2 San Antonio Spurs vs. #6 Minnesota Timberwolves. East: #1 New York Knicks vs. #3 Philadelphia 76ers, and #2 Cleveland Cavaliers vs. #6 Detroit Pistons.
Where are the Thunder-Lakers contracts priced?
- Kalshi's series-winner contract for OKC is at roughly 78% as of the most recent close, implying about 3.5-to-1 odds. Luka Dončić's calf injury status is the biggest single-day swing factor — if he misses additional games, expect OKC to reprice to 85%+; if he plays at full health, the contract should snap back toward 70-72%.
Which platform is best for series-winner trading?
- Kalshi has the deepest series-winner contracts, with $200K-$500K of open interest per series by Game 3. It also offers Conference Champion and NBA Finals winner contracts that update continuously. For California traders, Kalshi is the default for series-level trading.
Where do I trade NBA player props?
- Chalkboard has the most consistent NBA prop depth this season — points, rebounds, assists, blocks, and threes for every starter and most rotation players. Implied margins on player props typically run 3-5% wider than series-winner contracts, which can mean better edge for traders with strong individual-player views.
Can California residents legally trade NBA contracts?
- Yes. Kalshi and Polymarket are CFTC-regulated and legal in all 50 states, including California. Chalkboard, Sleeper, and Novig also operate legally for California residents under their respective regulatory frameworks.
What's the Conference Finals pricing right now?
- Western Conference Final: OKC 48%, San Antonio 32%, Lakers 12%, Minnesota 8%. Eastern Conference Final: New York 38%, Cleveland 22%, Detroit 18%, Philadelphia 14%. The Lakers number jumps to 18-20% if Luka is fully healthy through Round 2. The 76ers number is depressed by Embiid's injury history.
When does the 2026 NBA Finals start?
- The NBA Finals begin June 3, 2026, and run through potentially late June if the series goes seven games.
