NBA Restricts Player Prop Bets for 2026-27 Season

The NBA sent a memo to partner sportsbooks, including FanDuel and DraftKings, prohibiting certain bet types for the 2026-27 season. Restricted markets include parlays combining unders on one player's statistics, unders on players expected to play fewer than 12 minutes, and first-of bets such as the opening tip or a player's first shot. Earlier limits on turnover, foul, missed-free-throw and short-term contract-player bets remain. Players, coaches and team training staff must complete in-person betting-rules training. The restrictions will also apply to WNBA games beginning in 2027. The steps follow cases involving Jontay Porter, who admitted leaving games early to benefit bettors, and Terry Rozier, who has denied wrongdoing while facing allegations tied to his performance. The wire summary states the NBA says the rules aim to curb wagers vulnerable to manipulation without pushing betting into illegal markets. Contested: none found on the core memo, restricted bet types, partners, training requirement, or WNBA timing. Enforcement details and market impact are not specified in the record.
