  • Victor Wembanyama to win MVP and DPOY in 2026-27 season — the market puts it at 37%, with $294 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 4 Jul 2027. Victor Wembanyama must win both the MVP and DPOY awards during the 2026-27 NBA season for the market to resolve to Yes. The outcome depends solely on these official league honors, not on his performance in the playoffs or any other competitions. Readers often mistake the deadline, assuming it ends with the regular season rather than after the award announcements.
  • Victor Wembanyama — the market puts it at 34%, with $511 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 30 Jun 2028. The outcome is Yes if Victor Wembanyama wins the NBA Most Valuable Player award for the 2026-27 season. The outcome is No if he does not win that specific award. Readers often mistake the linked news story about sports betting endorsements as relevant to the resolution, but only the MVP award matters.
  • Victor Wembanyama — the market puts it at 74%, with $122 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 30 Jun 2028. The outcome is Yes if Victor Wembanyama wins the NBA Defensive Player of the Year award for the 2026-27 season. The outcome is No if he does not win that specific award during that season.
