NBA Teams Up With Kalshi and Polymarket for Prediction Markets

Kalshi and Polymarket will have access to official NBA data and branding to use on their platforms. NBA Executive Vice President Scott Kaufman-Ross said the league delayed partnerships with prediction markets until a regulatory system could be put in place.
