This market will resolve “Yes” if the listed team advances to the Conference Semifinals of the 2026 NBA Playoffs. If at any point it becomes impossible for the listed team to reach the Conference Semifinals of the 2026 NBA Playoffs (e.g. they are eliminated), the associated market will resolve to "No". If the 2026 NBA Playoffs are cancelled, postponed after June 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET or the results of the 2026 Playoffs first round have not been declared within that timeframe, this market will resolve to “No”. The resolution source for this market will be official information from the NBA (https://www.nba.com/); however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.With the 2025-26 NBA regular season concluding April 12, the playoff bracket is locked, pitting New York Knicks against Atlanta Hawks, Cleveland Cavaliers versus Toronto Raptors in the East, and Denver Nuggets facing Minnesota Timberwolves plus Los Angeles Lakers versus Houston Rockets in the West for spots in the conference semifinals. Higher seeds enjoy home-court advantage in best-of-seven series, amplified by late surges like the Knicks' defensive clampdowns and Nuggets' Nikola Jokić-led dominance. Play-In Tournament outcomes from April 14-17 will seed challengers to top teams Detroit Pistons, Boston Celtics, Oklahoma City Thunder, and San Antonio Spurs, amid key returns such as Cade Cunningham for Detroit and lingering injury watches on stars like Anthony Edwards. Momentum, matchups, and rest advantages shape trader consensus on these tightly contested first-round battles.
