NBA's Jontay Porter under investigation for betting irregularities

Is this about to become a thing? Seems like a dangerous precedent where part time role players can affect sporting events in the name of gambling.

At issue are prop bets involving Porter from games on Jan. 26 and March 20, multiple sources told ESPN. An NBA spokesman told ESPN that the league is "looking into it."

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 because of 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 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 Sacramento Kings, Porter played just three minutes before leaving the game because of 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.

I’ll wait until his translator makes a statement before I pass judgement.

Vegas knows every trend, especially when they lose their ass.

So what did he actually do?

Huge bets on the under for his stats, and he just happens to leave each game with an "injury".

He's a relative nobody, for the bettors to make his prop bet #1 at the perfect time is what set off the red flags.

You are nuts if you don't think this happens in the NFL too

It would be a little harder to control, but it wouldn't surprise me.

You could have always done this. You could sign up for an offshore book, assumed name, no social and made a killing. If they use a regulated site at least we can catch them if they are doing it maliciously. In a much better spot than ever before.

I wonder if Josh Allen bets the over for his interceptions

I see nothing that is out of the ordinary. The dude is made of glass.

Exactly, but that's the bad part. In some ways this is a bigger deal than Ohtani because you have a guy tanking to miss his prop bets and affecting his team's performance.

Number one prop bet for two nights in the entire NBA from a scrub. That's a red flag.
