• New Combos Feature Lets Fans Combine Different Outcomes in One Contract
• Exciting Product Launches to Leverage NBA’s Popularity
• The NBA Playoffs Kick Off Tomorrow

Fanatics, the leading global sports platform, is enhancing its prediction market capabilities ahead of the NBA playoffs by launching Combos. This new feature allows users to merge different outcomes, including player props, match winners, spreads, and totals, across multiple sports or games—all into a single contract.

Combine Multiple Outcomes in a Single Contract

Since its entry into the prediction market sector in December 2025, Fanatics has been at the forefront, offering players the ability to trade yes/no event contracts spanning sports, politics, economics, finance, and cultural events. Powered by Crypto.com’s regulated prediction market infrastructure, Fanatics Markets is duly registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

The NBA playoffs commence tomorrow, a period notorious for its surge in betting activities across U.S. sports. The new Combos feature is available for various sports including basketball, baseball, hockey, soccer, football, boxing, MMA, and tennis, with more additions in the pipeline, according to a statement from Fanatics.

The Countdown to the NBA Playoffs

A spokesperson for Fanatics indicated that enhancements to the trading experience are forthcoming, with Combos being the initial upgrade based on customer feedback.

Players can select up to four options. For instance, in NBA betting, one could create a “yes” combo including the Orlando Magic +3.5 spread, a Hornets victory, and the Over 219.5 total, in increments of $5, $10, or $20, all at an 11% stake. Winning requires all three selections to be accurate.

This system operates similarly to a sports betting parlay. With Day 3 of the NBA Play-In underway, the Charlotte Hornets are visiting the Orlando Magic, and the Stephen Curry-led Golden State Warriors are set to take on the Phoenix Suns tonight. As of this afternoon on Fanatics Markets, “yes” shares for the Hornets were valued at .60, the Magic at .40, the Suns at .59, and the Warriors at .42.

Fanatics Markets: A 2025 Launch

Other prediction platforms, such as Kalshi and Polymarket, provide services comparable to the newly launched Combos.

The NBA is a favorite among bettors due to its extensive schedule—82 games compared to just 16 in the NFL, making the playoffs an especially anticipated phase with nationally televised games.

The playoffs will officially kick off tomorrow, featuring the Toronto Raptors visiting the Cleveland Cavaliers at 1 p.m. EST, followed by the Minnesota Timberwolves facing the Denver Nuggets at 3:30 p.m., the Atlanta Hawks against the New York Knicks at 6 p.m., and the Houston Rockets in Los Angeles to play the Lakers at 8:30 p.m.

Fanatics Markets are accessible on both iOS and Android in 24 U.S. states and four territories.
