And NBA advertising this too? Can put the paste back in the tube. Sources: NBA eyes Raptors' Jontay Porter for betting issues David Purdum, Brian Windhorst and Adrian Wojnarowski Mar 25, 2024, 06:14 PM ET Toronto Raptors forward Jontay Porter is under investigation by the NBA following multiple instances of betting irregularities over the past several months, multiple sources told ESPN on Monday. At issue are prop bets involving Porter from games on Jan. 26 and March 20, multiple sources told ESPN. The NBA did not immediately respond to requests for comment. In the game on Jan. 26 against the LA Clippers, there was increased betting interest on the under for Porter props, which for the night were set at around 5.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists. There was also an over/under for Porter's made 3-pointers, which was 0.5. That night, Porter played just four minutes before leaving the game due to what the Raptors said was a re-aggravation of an eye injury he'd suffered four days earlier in a game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He did not score in the game against the Clippers, had three rebounds and one assist, and did not attempt a 3, meaning the under hit on all of the props. The next day, as part of a daily report to users on betting results, DraftKings Sportsbook reported that the under on Porter's 3-pointers was the biggest money winner for bettors of any NBA player props from games that evening. Porter played 19 minutes two days later and scored 12 points with seven rebounds and three assists. On March 20, in a game against the Phoenix Suns, Porter played just three minutes before leaving the game due to what the Raptors said was an illness and did not return. He did not score, attempted and missed one shot, and had two rebounds. Sportsbooks had his over/unders set at around 7.5 points and 5.5 rebounds. The next day, DraftKings SportsBooks reported to its users that Porter's prop bets were the No. 1 moneymaker from the night in the NBA. Porter, the brother of Denver Nuggets star Michael Porter Jr., is on a two-way contract with the Raptors earning $415,000 this season. He missed the Raptors game Saturday against the Washington Wizards for personal reasons, according to the team. He is listed as out for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets for personal reasons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a problem with it myself I was gambling online in the late 90’s online and was lucky to only lose a few thousand but the stress of having to get the games in and point spreads and whatnot, im glad I made it out. It was a depressing rollercoaster ride for me which started out really fun. Hope he gets it under control. Is he on a team right now? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AHF Posted April 10 Moderators Report Share Posted April 10 Is the rule in the NBA that players can't bet on sports, can't bet on basketball, or just can't bet on NBA games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely no NBA, WNBA, GL games I think I saw a blurb regarding can't bet while on 'Company grounds' or during 'company time' on anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there's no way to adequately police any of that so the only way anyone gets caught is through sheer stupidity. But the money was too green for WackAdam and his bosses. Frankly, I hope them and all other pro sports get burned by it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for them. Eh, just means Brown will be traded. Jmeo They got depth and frontcourt prollems and Jrue has quietly started to lose steps defensively.
