Milwaukee Bucks player Malik Beasley is indicted in federal court, with prosecutors alleging he manipulates his own NBA performances to benefit bettors. Multiple outlets report that the case centers on point-shaving and the fixing of individual game statistics used in sports betting, including player prop wagers. According to the reports, Beasley allegedly adjusts how he performs during games, and other parties place bets on his statistics based on that expected manipulation. One outlet says the allegations involve games during the 2023–24 season, during which bettors win money on prop bet outcomes described as “thousands,” while another report characterizes the scheme as a sports-betting arrangement tied to rigging performance.
The indictments are described as part of a broader federal investigation that was previously announced last June. Coverage also notes that details of the indictment are reported through coverage that references documents obtained by The Athletic. The sources agree on the core allegation: Beasley faces federal charges related to allegedly rigging his own NBA performances to influence betting results.
