Sportsbooks in multiple states flagged suspicious betting interest on Rozier's statistics ahead of a Charlotte Hornets-New Orleans Pelicans game on March 23, 2023. An unexpected surge of bets -- including 30 wagers in 46 minutes from a professional bettor totaling $13,759 -- came in on the under on Rozier's points, rebounds and assists, causing sportsbooks to halt betting on the veteran guard. Rozier, then with the Hornets, played just 10 minutes before leaving the game, citing a foot injury.

Billups' arrest in Oregon was made as part of a separate but related illegal gambling case linked to an illegal poker operation tied to the Mafia, according to an ABC News report. Billups is expected to make an initial court appearance later Thursday.

Pelicans need to be investigated on not covering last night down 4 with five seconds remaining. (+4.5)

I know it sounds insane & I pray the Pels are not involved in gambling in any way but that last Pels possession was just insane. I can’t remember the last time I saw in the NBA an inbounds pass was just whiffed like that to turn the ball over causing the betting line to cover.

Hopefully Willie Green is the mastermind and drew up that idiotic play

If you watch the play, Trey was curling and Poole was supposed to pop out, but he was being held and could not move. Should have been an obvious foul.

Now this is where I parked my car.

As a lifelong basketball fan, I'm really hoping that this tears down Adam Silver's NBA. I hope it changes the way games are officiated. I hope it forces more transparency and accountability on officials.

Something was fishy about that game last night.

If Rozier gets suspended for this, does Miami get to drop his contract for turpitude reasons?

If so that would be a savings of $20m plus for a guy who was washed.

The league has already placed Rozier and Chauncey on leave so their contracts are on hold right now and don’t get paid.

I’m sure there’s a clause in those contracts that will allow them to be fired/cut without penalty though, so they’re both probably going to come out smelling like a rose with these arrests

Miami is fine with how this is playing out, I’m sure.

Portland? They have to replace a head coach one game into the season. This season’s fricked for them before they even started.
