Porter under investigation for prop betting involving himself

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.

these guys are so dumb

Time to bring back Bruno!

The official tanking cigar to celebrate getting our pick back & Jontay’s winning bet.

If true I have no sympathy for him - after all his injuries/setbacks he gets an opportunity for a career and some coin and he blows it by gambling.

It just seems so out of left field. I mean if he did it then goodbye sir. If it's just coincidence then fine but now that stigma will be on him.

This seems really odd

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

As if this season couldn't get any funnier.

Could care less about him losing a roster spot - he sucked.

by the time it gets to this, where there are press releases and suspensions, both the sportsbook and the NBA lawyers have gone over everything with a fine tooth comb.

I am just happy that Zach Edey is back on the menu at the Pacers pick

Why do something this risky and stupid when you're trying to make it in the league?

If his 3 pointers under was the biggest win of the night, then it was most likely Jontay making a huge bet on himself. Not many people even know who he is to be betting on him like that.

Yeah you are probably right - the NBA wouldn't want this to be a story so if they suspend him there likely is proof

On the verge of landing a full-time NBA contract and he fumbles it. Sheer stupidity.

Flip side - where did he even get the $ to make huge bet?

Imagine if MPJ was involved

seems like a very smart, level headed guy from media interviews.. I wouldn't expect this from him.

Money hungry.

Didn't he sell his jersey # to Bruce Brown for 1k?

I mean, the NBA has got to be extremely naive to think this won't happen the moment you fully embrace gambling

Yeah, but I think Bruce Brown approached him to buy the number off him. Either way, still didn't see this coming.
