The game involving Rozier who is in question was played on March 23, 2023, a match between the Hornets and the Pélicans of New Orleans. Rozier played the first 9 minutes, 36 seconds of this match – and not only did not come back that night, citing a foot problem, but has not played again this season. Charlotte had eight games to play and was not in the running of the playoffs, so he did not seem particularly unusual that Rozier was closed for the last games of the season.

In this March 23 match, Rozier finished with five points, four rebounds and two assists in this opening period – a productive district, but well below its usual total release for a full match.

Messages still online of March 23, 2023 show that some bettors were furious against sports books that evening when he became obvious that Rozier was not going to return to the game of Charlotte-New Orleans after the first quarter, with a lot From things to social media to say what to say what to say what to say what to say what to say what to say what to say what to say what to say what to say what to say what to say what to say that something From “Shady” had continued concerning the propeller bets involving his statistics for that night.

The Bettor played more than 6.5 goals in the NHL NHL match of Tampa Bay-Ootawa and more than 8.5 rebounds for Julius Randle, who both struck. But the ticket was not in cash because Rozier finished well below his propelled 32.5 -point betting bet, assists and rebounds. The bettor chose Rozier to exceed these figures.

Another bettor posted that night Obtain “some interior information” This Rozier left this game early and showed an image of the way he transformed a bet of $ 122 into a payment of $ 222.

Some sports books have offered bets of propeller Rozier – its totals for this night were generally taken place around 21.5 points, six assists and four rebounds – on March 23, then removed them a few hours before the start of Charlotte-New Orleans match. It was not clear why it had happened, and some bettors wondered aloud why this unusual decision had taken place. Rozier was not scored in the team’s injury report in the match.

Rozier, 30, is in the third year of a $ 96.3 million contract over four years.

The prohibition of Porter intervened after a similar investigation into his performance and his “bets” – go where bettors can choose whether a player will reach a certain statistical standard or not during a match.

The Porte survey started once the League has learned “license sports betting operators and an organization that monitors the markets in legal Paris” on unusual game models surrounding the performance of wear in a match on 20 March 2024, against Sacramento. The League determined that Porter had given information on the bettors on his own state of health before this match and said that another individual – known to be a bettor of the NBA – placed a bet of $ 80,000 that would not strike the figures fixed for him in the Parlays through an online sport book. This bet would have won $ 1.1 million.

The specifics of the bets that sparked the probe in the Hornets-Pelican games are unknown.
