KNOW WHAT YOU ARE READING

How NBA winner contracts work

01 / Buy and sell are different prices

The ask is the displayed price to buy YES. The bid is the price offered to someone selling YES. Their difference is the spread. A 40¢ quote is a price, not a verified 40% chance of winning.

02 / Settlement follows the contract

A YES contract normally pays $1 if its named team wins and $0 if it loses. Cancellation and postponement can have special treatment; read each market’s rules above. Quotes are for separate YES contracts on each team.

03 / Fees change the result

Buying 100 contracts at 40¢ costs $40 before fees. A normal winning settlement pays $100: a $60 gain before fees. A losing settlement pays $0: the $40 purchase cost is lost, plus any fees. The spread is not a fee.

Kalshi fees depend on the market, order type, price and quantity; maker fees can apply to this series. Quotes above exclude fees. Check the current official fee schedule and the order preview. We do not calculate or promise a net return.

We match each market to one fixture using the two teams and game date. Unmatched contracts are omitted. Quotes older than 15 minutes are hidden. Availability is a current team listing, not confirmation of an absence in a future game. News or lineup changes do not establish why a market moved. Independent editorial resource; no Kalshi affiliation is claimed.

NBA-Lineups.com is an independent basketball resource. Game times, scores and starting lineups are updated automatically. News briefs link to their original reporting. Data may be delayed or incomplete.
