The NBA has informed partnering sportsbooks that the league is restricting certain betting markets ahead of the 2026-2027 season, including player prop parlay wagers that were part of the Jontay Porter and Terry Rozier gambling schemes, ESPN reports.
The NBA directed FanDuel, DraftKings, and other sports betting operators not to offer same-player under stats in parlays, according to a memo obtained by ESPN. As part of its agreements with betting partners, the NBA can determine which markets are allowed.
The decision to restrict these markets comes two years after Porter, a former Toronto Raptors player who is awaiting a prison sentence after pleading guilty to wire fraud charges, manipulated his performance to help a group of bettors win wagers on his player-prop unders. Rozier is facing multiple federal charges for allegedly informing bettors that he would remove himself from a game and accepting a bribe.
The league told operators that it is also banning bets on the opening tip winner, players to miss specific shots, as well as under bets on players expected to play less than 12 minutes in a particular game this season.
