Kalshi prediction markets to target on Thursday

  • Hurricanes to defeat the Lightning ($0.56 per share)
  • Rockets to defeat the Magic ($0.59 per share)
  • Michigan State vs. Purdue: More than 140.5 total points scored ($0.57 per share)

Hurricanes to defeat the Lightning ($0.56 per share)

"Purely speculation. The Lightning didn't give any of their Olympic guys Wednesday off at home. But think they might in the second of a back-to-back," SportsLine expert Matt Severance said. "That kinda stuff usually irritates me so profusely, but in this case, I would get it. They played for country, let them have a break, even at the team's detriment for one night. Especially on a one-game trip. Even if the Bolts don't, it's backup Jonas Johansson and the Hurricanes are fully healthy and didn't have a ton of guys in Italy. Expect a full roster." Trade Lightning vs. Hurricanes at Kalshi here:

Rockets to defeat the Magic ($0.59 per share)

The Rockets have won each of their last two games by at least 25 points while posting at least 125 points against the Jazz and Kings. The Magic are a team likely heading to the postseason, so it's a significant talent and motivation difference from the Rockets' last two opponents, but Houston is 5-2 over its last seven games, which includes a 112-106 win over the Thunder. The Magic are coming off a cross-country flight and three straight West Coast games that went to the final possession, so there could be fatigue at play. The Magic also dropped their most recent home game, 116-108, to the Bucks on Feb. 11. The model projects the Rockets to win in 68% of simulations, showcasing good value at this price. Trade Rockets vs. Magic here:

Michigan State vs. Purdue: More than 140.5 total points scored ($0.57 per share)

Six of the last seven Michigan State games have totaled at least 141 points, while three of the last four Purdue games have as well. Purdue is coming off scoring 93 points on Friday and the Boilermakers have at least 80 points in three of their last four contests. The model projects another higher-scoring affair for these teams, with them scoring more than 140.5 points in 77% of simulations. Trade Michigan State vs. Purdue here:
