Hornets lead Kalshi pricing gaps in NBA comparison with sportsbooks
SportsBookISH tracked 26 NBA games and 36 Kalshi markets against seven sportsbooks on October 31, ranking the Hornets against the 76ers as the largest buy edge at 4.29 points. Cleveland at Milwaukee and Atlanta at New Orleans also showed Kalshi prices more than a point cheaper than the sportsbook median.
Charlotte’s matchup against the 76ers showed the largest buy-side pricing gap in SportsBookISH’s October 31 comparison of Kalshi NBA markets with sportsbooks. The Hornets were priced at 38.5 percent on Kalshi, versus a sportsbook median of 42.8 percent.
Charlotte tops the comparison
According to SportsBookISH, the analysis covered 26 NBA games and 36 Kalshi markets, using seven sportsbooks as the comparison group. Its ranking placed the Hornets first with a reported edge of 4.29 points.
The findings were published on Oct 31, 2026, at 7:15 PM ET. The Charlotte figures show a lower Kalshi price than the sportsbook median, rather than a forecast that the Hornets would win.
Two other matchups show gaps
Cleveland at Milwaukee and Atlanta at New Orleans also had Kalshi prices more than a point below the sportsbook median, according to SportsBookISH.
The supplied summary does not specify the exact prices or gap sizes for those two matchups. It also does not identify which side of either matchup carried the lower Kalshi price.
What it means for prediction markets
- Charlotte was the largest reported discrepancy: SportsBookISH ranked the Hornets’ 4.29-point gap above the other markets in its comparison.
- The benchmark matters: The ranking measures Kalshi prices against a seven-sportsbook median; it does not establish the underlying probability of a win.
- The broader comparison has limited detail: Cleveland–Milwaukee and Atlanta–New Orleans also showed gaps exceeding a point, but the summary provides insufficient pricing detail to compare them more precisely.
