Tracks the leading outcome in a winner-take-all prediction market set with 2 outcomes.

Why this matters:
This market is assessing the likelihood that Detroit will win at least 12 games during the 2026 NBA playoffs, which would require reaching at least the Conference Finals. At 33%, the probability reflects significant uncertainty about Detroit's playoff depth and performance. The current level suggests markets view Detroit as a competitive playoff team but not among the favorites—notably, Oklahoma City trades at 67% for the same threshold, while San Antonio and New York are at 27% and 31% respectively. Detroit would need to either secure a high seed and make a deep run, or win multiple series against quality opponents. The resolution depends on actual playoff outcomes beginning in April 2026, with the market pricing in questions about roster health, matchup dynamics, and whether Detroit's regular season performance translates to sustained postseason success.

Key factors:
- Detroit's regular season win total and playoff seeding relative to conference competition
- Head-to-head playoff matchup difficulty—12+ wins requires at least Conference Finals appearance, contingent on bracket positioning
- Comparison to peer markets shows Detroit priced between weaker contenders (San Antonio 27%, New York 31%) and stronger favorites (Oklahoma City 67%), suggesting moderate competitive positioning
- Volume concentration on Detroit's 5+ and 8+ game thresholds indicates market focus on whether they reach second round rather than deep playoff run
- Roster injury status and bench depth performance during playoffs will directly impact series-by-series advancement probability

Contracts:
- Will San Antonio win 14+ games in the 2026 Pro Basketball Playoffs?: 14+ playoff wins — 67¢ Kalshi $2K (weight 53%)
- Will San Antonio win 15+ games in the 2026 Pro Basketball Playoffs?: 15+ playoff wins — 17¢ Kalshi $2K (weight 47%)

## Methodology

SimpleFunctions aggregates live YES-side prices from Kalshi and Polymarket contracts bound to this question. For binary topics the headline is the liquidity-weighted mid-price (weight = log(1 + 24h volume) × freshness, where freshness is 1.0 if updated <24h, 0.7 if <7d, 0.4 otherwise). For multi-outcome (winner-take-all) topics the headline is the current leader's price — disjoint outcomes are never arithmetically averaged. Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours.
