Mid-week Polymarket market

A bit out of the blue this week with the mid-week Polymarket market, but the New York Knicks have been on blistering form and tore their way through the Eastern Conference playoffs.

With plenty of rest and momentum, I am surprised that they are only given a 29% chance (at the time of writing) of winning the NBA Championship.

The Thunder are a monster of team, and should they progress to the finals then they will be the ultimate litmus test for a Knicks team that has gone 11-0 thus far and looking for their first NBA crown since 1973.
