Kalshi officially launches NBA player props

Launches

Player props are now available at Kalshi, pricing will steadily adjust at the prediction market platform from here on up.

However, the early numbers and prices provide an indication of which benchmarks traders think are in reach, and which ones don’t appear likely. 

The recent expansion of prop bets occurs amidst heightened scrutiny following various controversies in both professional and collegiate sports. In Major League Baseball, two pitchers from the Guardians, including All-Star closer Emmanuel Clase, were indicted last week for their alleged participation in a scheme aimed at manipulating individual pitches in the National Basketball Association.

The MLB announced last week that its authorized partners which include FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM, Fanatics and Bet365will no longer accept wagers of more than $200 on certain prop bets in any US state, while such bets which include the speed of pitches or whether a certain pitch is a strike or a ball will also be excluded in parlays.
