Toronto Raptors player Jontay Porter has been inactive for the team’s last two games due to personal reasons. There have been reports of potential betting anomalies related to him, specifically involving prop bets. On January 26 and March 20, DraftKings Sportsbook flagged prop bets involving Porter in their daily betting insights.
On January 26, users betting the under on Porter’s three-pointers were the biggest moneymakers for NBA player prop betting. On March 20, Porter prop bettors were also the biggest winners for that day’s NBA betting. In both instances, Porter exited the game early.
Despite these reports, the Raptors have not commented on the situation and Porter’s representatives have not responded to requests for comment. However, a DraftKings spokesperson declined to comment on the matter but emphasized that legal and regulated sports betting helps identify and report suspicious activity to protect the integrity of sports, which is not possible in the illegal market.
