The NBA has told its two authorised sportsbook partners, DraftKings and FanDuel, to stop offering a set of player prop bets this season. The list includes parlays that combine several unders on one player, first-basket and opening-tip bets, and unders on rotation players expected to play fewer than 12 minutes.

The move follows two cases involving the league's own players. Jontay Porter admitted in 2024 to leaving games early so that bets on his unders would win, and later pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Terry Rozier faces similar allegations, which he denies; the league acted without waiting for his case to conclude.

The same restrictions will apply to WNBA games from 2027. For bettors, the practical effect is fewer low-minute and single-player markets, which are the easiest to influence from the court.
