Knicks @ Bulls: the model and market comparison

A closer look at the Knicks @ Bulls alert, with its original numbers.

Deviate basketball alert card: Knicks @ Bulls; +11 percentage-point edge; model 89%, market 78%; outcome lost.

The alert

Knicks @ Bulls — Chicago Bulls +13, 5:35 left Q3. Model 89%, market 78%, gap 11 percentage points; side: Chicago Bulls. Sent 9:43 PM ET on Oct 28, 2026. Outcome: lost.

Chicago Bulls currently lead and our historical model gives them a ~89% chance to win from this exact situation (Chicago Bulls +13, 5:35 left Q3). Kalshi's market is pricing the same outcome at 78% (78¢ on YES for Chicago Bulls). That's a 11-point gap between the historical rate and the market price, so the contract looks underpriced relative to history. This reflects historical frequencies, not a guarantee. Late-game variance, injuries, and fouling situations can and do flip outcomes.
