Kalshi Notable Markets Worth Watching
-

Kalshi Market Edge
-
- Milwaukee’s playoff crash is the day’s defining move, and it came with meaningful volume.
-
- San Antonio’s West title selloff did not slow trading, which can keep volatility elevated.
-
- The MVP market is still Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s race at 77c bid, but the day-over-day drift lower matters with heavy volume.
-
- Wide spreads are the tell for uncertainty, led by LeBron James next team and Jonathan Kuminga trade.
