In an effort to combat illegal sports gambling scandals, the NBA and its sportsbook partners have banned wagers the league deems problematic and susceptible to manipulation, per a pair of memos obtained by USA TODAY Sports.
The bets that will no longer be permitted are parlays wagered on a series of under bets for the same player; any under wagers for players who average fewer than 12 minutes per game; and first basket, opening tipoff winners and wagers for players to miss any specific shots.

These restrictions are in addition to previous limitations on wagers from prior seasons, such as bets on any 10-day contract or two-way player; player props on turnovers; any wagers related to player and team fouls; and any wagers related to missed free throws.
“Protecting the integrity of our games remains the NBA’s top priority,” an NBA spokesperson said, Friday, Oct. 16. “Building on existing safeguards, we are strengthening betting education and monitoring, working with operators to expand limits on bets that are more susceptible to manipulation, and improving protections against betting-related harassment to help safeguard our competition, players and personnel.”
