Oct 18, 2024, 05:56 PM

The NBA has requested sportsbooks to refrain from offering over/under bets on players with two-way or 10-day contracts, a measure set to take effect at the start of the upcoming NBA season. This decision follows the incident involving former Toronto Raptors forward Jontay Porter, who was banned from the league for providing information about his health to bettors last season. Major sportsbooks, including FanDuel and DraftKings, have confirmed they will comply with this request to prevent potential manipulation of betting outcomes.
