@dailymailsportusa: The NBA is restricting certain types of bets this season, including a player prop parlay used by bettors in recent betting scandals, according to a league memo distributed to sportsbook partners Friday. Gamblers won't be able to include the under on the same player's statistics in parlays, in addition to other betting markets the league considers problematic, according a memo, which was obtained by ESPN. In addition, the NBA also directed its legalized gambling partners including DraftKings and FanDuel, not to offer bets on the winner of the opening tip, players to miss specific shots and under bets on players who are expected to play fewer than 12 minutes in a specific game. 'There's a balance between ensuring that we are removing problematic bet types but also ensuring that we don't just move activity into the illegal market,' NBA executive vice president Scott Kaufman-Ross told ESPN. 'And where we landed right now, we think, is the right balance of those two objectives.' Through its agreements, the NBA has the authority to restrict what sports books offer. #adamsilver #NBA #basketball #sportsbetting #fanduel
