Boston’s Eastern Conference one-seed market just got nuked. The contract closed at 1c after opening 5c, a -80.0% move that stands out even on a busy board.

Dunk on the Prediction Markets with SportsGrid’s Free NBA Picks and Player Props Markets.

Top Kalshi NBA Movers That Mattered

  • Boston’s Eastern Conference #1 seed collapsed from 5c to 1c (-80.0%). The market is basically pricing it as dead.

  • Jayson Tatum Eastern Conference Finals MVP ripped from 10c to 27c (+170.0%). It’s a huge jump, but the market is still thin.

  • Victor Wembanyama rebounds per game leader slid from 9c to 2c (-77.78%).
