Five U.S. sportsbooks<\/a> on Friday said they would not be offering under prop bets on NBA players who are on two-way or 10-day contracts. This decision was made in efforts to curb attempts at manipulation.<\/p>\n

Sportsbooks BetMGM, Caesars, DraftKings, ESPN BET, and FanDuel cut under bets for NBA players on two-way, 10-day deals<\/h2>\n

BetMGM, Caesars, DraftKings, ESPN BET, and FanDuel all confirmed that they planned to comply with the prop betting restrictions.<\/p>\n

“We are pleased that these actions have been taken to help protect the integrity of our games,” an NBA spokesperson told ESPN.<\/p>\n

According to ESPN’s David Purdum, the restriction is a result of discussions the NBA had with sportsbooks over the summer, following the league’s investigation and permanent ban of former Toronto Raptors<\/a> forward Jontay Porter.<\/p>\n

Porter, 24, was banned from the league for divulging confidential information to bettors and placing bets on games while playing in the G League. He placed at least 13 bets on NBA games using an associate\u2019s online betting account.<\/p>\n

Porter was on a two-way contract with the Raptors<\/h2>\n

Furthermore, Porter was on a two-way contract with the Raptors at the time. He exited a Jan. 26 game against the Los Angeles Clippers and a March 20 game against the Sacramento Kings after playing just a few minutes.<\/p>\n

On July 10, Porter pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud. In fact, the Missouri product is scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 18 in New York.<\/p>\n

Two-way contracts are given to players who go back and forth between the G League and the NBA. Ten-day contracts allow teams to add players for up to 10 days or three games.<\/p>\n

Additionally, one bettor had placed an $80,000 same-game parlay bet that featured unders on Porter\u2019s statistics and won $1.1 million. Porter played three minutes before leaving the game with an illness.<\/p>\n

FanDuel told Purdum that it is “always working with our partners to [ensure] the markets adhere to their standards.” DraftKings “is in alignment with the NBA and thankful for the opportunity” to help the league as well.<\/p>\n

Sportsbooks flagged suspicious betting patterns on the under on Porter’s statistics in games in January and March.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
