The NBA is expanding its gambling partnerships by adding Kalshi and Polymarket as preferred prediction market partners, alongside an expanded DraftKings deal and a new MOU with the CFTC. This move comes as the league faces ongoing gambling-related scandals, including Jontay Porter's guilty plea.

The NBA has increasingly partnered with sports betting companies since the 2018 Supreme Court decision legalizing sports gambling nationwide, drawing criticism for monetizing gambling amid growing addiction concerns.
