Summary

The NBA has restricted certain prop bets after scandals involving players leaking information to gamblers. Jontay Porter was banned in 2024 for tipping off bettors, and Terry Rozier and Chauncey Billups were implicated in a 2025 investigation. The league directed sportsbooks to stop accepting specific wagers, including stats-based bets and some microbets. The changes aim to prevent exploitation of game outcomes, though the NBA continues partnerships with gambling platforms.
