Reasoning
Standard NBA championship outright betting market. Sport (NBA Finals 2026) falls under Pinnacle domain. Outcome is binary (Lakers win or do not win). Resolution date aligns with typical NBA Finals completion window (late June/early July 2026). NBA as official resolution source is standard and accepted. High confidence match to Pinnacle's Championship Winner markets.
