FanDuel and DraftKings are among the sportsbooks that will not offer under bets on NBA players who are on two-way or 10-day contracts to combat attempts at manipulation.

The restriction is a result of discussions the NBA had with sportsbooks over the summer, after former Toronto Raptors forward Jontay Porter was banned from the league for his role in a gambling scheme centered on prop bets on his statistics.

The NBA is issuing a memo to all sportsbooks on the issue Friday, sources told ESPN.

FanDuel and DraftKings were among the sportsbooks that said they would be adhering to the NBA's request.
