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 Phoenix Suns, 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.
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/39808900/nba-eyes-raptors-jontay-porter-betting-issuesWith how much betting goes into NBA bets in any given night, the fact that Porter's prop bets were TWICE the no. 1 moneymaker is extremely suspicious. The bet amounts had to have been huge, because the payouts on those types of bets aren't THAT big. It's basically a 3 or 4 play parlay, which pays what, 5:1 or 6:1 for a 3 play parlay, and about double, so 12:1 for a 4 play? For it to be the biggest money maker of the night someone would've had to have bet well into the 6 figures on that play.
