Rozier Hit with Bribery and Fraud Charges in Gambling Case

Federal prosecutors added bribery in sporting contests and honest services wire fraud conspiracy charges to the case against former NBA player Terry Rozier, accusing him of agreeing to a $100,000 bribe to influence a game. Rozier’s lawyers say the new charges reflect shifting theories, and note a Supreme Court ruling that could affect the fraud counts, underscoring the ongoing fallout of gambling-related investigations in the era of legalized sports betting.

Knicks’ playoff surge rewrites the odds, leaving sportsbooks scrambling

The Knicks’ 11-game playoff win streak has transformed them from a solid regular-season squad into a Finals threat, outpacing model expectations and forcing sportsbooks to rethink pricing that had pegged them as long shots. After a 53-29 regular season and No. 3 seed, New York’s explosive offense and stifling defense have pundits and bettors racing to adjust futures, with prices moving from about +1700–+1800 to shorter odds as the market tries to separate genuine signal from noise. The piece also notes slower adjustment to player props (like Towns’ assists and Bridges’ PRA) and suggests public money could keep pushing lines while bookmakers strive for quicker recalibration ahead of a possible Knicks- finals matchup against the Thunder or Spurs.
