This market asks how many combined points Dallas and Atlanta will score in the first half of their game. First-half totals matter because they isolate the early-game dynamics that drive live scoring and in-play trading.
This is a matchup-level market focusing on a single game period rather than the full game. Historically, first-half totals can differ from full-game expectations because coaches and rotations, game tempo, and early-game strategies (e.g., starters vs. bench) are concentrated in that window. Market participants often trade these markets based on pregame information and live developments before or during the half.
Prices in this market reflect the market’s consensus about where the combined first-half score is likely to land relative to the offered outcome buckets; higher-priced outcomes indicate the market assigns less likelihood to that range. Always check the exchange’s contract rules for settlement specifics and any tie-breaker conditions.
It refers to the combined number of points scored by both teams during the official first half of the game. Check the market rules on the exchange page for precise settlement definitions (for example, how they handle game delays or aborted games).
The event page lists the close time as TBD; exchanges typically close first-half markets at or shortly before the official game start or at a specified pregame lock. Confirm the final close time on the KALSHI event page to know when trading and order execution will stop.
Outcome sets vary by market operator; nine outcomes often correspond to discrete point ranges or exact total buckets for the first half. The event description on the exchange will list the numeric ranges or labels for each outcome.
Pre-game starter announcements, last-minute injuries or healthy scratches, announced minutes or load management, early foul trouble for key scorers, and any evidence of an unusually slow or fast opening tempo are the primary drivers.
Head-to-head first-half history provides context but should be used alongside current-season trends, recent first-half scoring averages, and roster/rotation changes. Past games can highlight matchup tendencies, but staffing and strategy changes mean recent form usually carries more weight.
