Night Watch: Here’s What We Know About the NBA Mafia Gambling Scandal

Episode 149 Published 4 months ago
Description

Tonight, Katie breaks down a federal case that might sound like the plot to a movie, but is in fact very real. Prosecutors say New York crime families teamed up with former and current NBA players to run two overlapping schemes. In one, Damon Jones and Chauncey Billups allegedly acted as celebrity bait at underground poker games where hidden tech and rigged shufflers let Mafia backed cheating teams quietly drain high rollers of millions. In the other, investigators say Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier and insiders sold secret injury and game info to fuel huge illegal prop bets, even faking an in-game injury to cash in. With more than thirty people charged, stars on leave, and investigators hinting this may reach beyond basketball, tonight’s episode unpacks how the mob, modern tech, and pro sports collided in a case that could shake fan trust in the game itself.
