2026 VSiN / KillerSports NBA Playoff Challenge

Fifteen handicappers compete in an NBA Playoffs handicapping contest.

Saturday, April 18 through Sunday, June 19 (38 plays).

• NBA full-game ATS sides and O/U totals only.
• Contestants are invited by VSiN and KillerSports. There is no entry fee.
• Circa Sports lines will be used for the contest. Lines for each day's games will be posted at 10 PM MT the day before the game.
• All selections for each day have to be made at least 1 hour before the start of the first game of the day.

Throughout the course of the entire NBA playoffs, each contestant will make a maximum of 38 plays from the 2026 NBA Playoff games only, structured as follows:

• A winning play is worth 1 point.
• A push is worth a half-point.
• If a game is canceled, it is graded as a half-point.
• A postponed game must be played within two days of the originally scheduled date or it is graded as a half-point.

Most points at the end of the playoffs wins.

All contestants submit their pick for the NBA Championship Winner before the playoffs start on Saturday, April 18 at 11 AM MT.

If two or more contestants are tied after the Playoffs are over, the contestant who picked the NBA Championship Winner correctly prevails.

If all remaining tied contestants' picks are correct or incorrect and a tie still remains, the contestants will split the total pot of winnings ($3,500) and both/all get a trophy.

• 1st Place: $3,000 cash + trophy
• Runner-Up: $500 cash
