I think the issue there is that the teams themselves are supposed to avoid being involved in gambling (you know, other than running Draftkings ads).

That’s right. I’m just thinking that this is an incentive problem. If playing well paid better than taking a dive, then they would do that.
The NBA already lets media members vote on awards that determine player salaries. Letting the sports books have a role would be bad optics, but at least they actually pay attention.

True. And at least considering that might get them to also start thinking about other ways to incentivize the players to not gamble.
