BetMGM is cutting prop bets on NBA players on 2-way or 10-day contracts

LAS VEGAS (AP) — BetMGM Sportsbook will not accept NBA picks when betting on players on two-way or 10-day contracts in light of Toronto Raptors forward Jontay Porter’s lifetime ban.

The sportsbook joins several others taking this action, including FanDuel, DraftKings and ESPN BET, according to ESPN.

Porter was suspended on April 17 after a league investigation found that he disclosed confidential information to sports bettors and bet on games in which he also bet on the Raptors losing.

At the time, he was on a two-way contract, meaning Porter could move between the Raptors and their G League affiliate. His salary was $410,000, and a normal NBA contract would have cost more than $2 million.
