Lauri Markkanen (Utah Jazz) points props are borderline criminal in terms of tanking

This almost would seem like a billion to 1 shot if it wasn't so blatant. He scored EXACTLY 16 points in the 1H in each of the last 3 games & didn't score a single point in neither 1 of those three 2Hs. I honestly wouldn't bring this up if I didn't get screwed betting his 20+ points in the last 2 games but this is still beyond ridiculous.



Just to give you an idea how likely a primary scorer like Lauri should be to score at least 20 with 16 at HT, Trae Young who also had 16 at HT was -10000 to score 20+ & easily did. Obv not nuts enough to lay -10000 on that but just put that amount in.



I'll wrap it up with this. Beware player props on bad teams this late in the season. I was about to do 15+ with Jordan Poole with 9 at HT. Teams are obv tanking like Utah & WASH who sat out Poole the entire 2H even though he wasn't injured.

Just curious, how many minutes did he play in each half of those three games?

In the game on Fri he played all 19 minutes in the 1H since he sat out the entire 2H without any injury which raised red flags on reddit since he was -1400 to get 20+ before the books caught on.



I got suckered in the last 2 games betting him after seeing him start the 2H. He played at least 17m in each of those 1Hs but was subbed out PERMANENTLY those 2 games shown in the 3Q. Down 18 in MIN, ok fine, but down at 6 vs CHI at home is beyond fukking blatant tanking. Truly hope they get screwed in the Cooper Flagg Sweepstakes cuz doing this accomplishes really nothing since this isn't the NFL where it goes by worst record.

The tanking is on.

Same with 76ers. NBA is investigating them missing their star players.
