Will Austin Reaves bets be refunded after injury during Rockets vs. Lakers on Christmas 12/25/25?

Lakers G Austin Reaves did not return to the floor for the second half of Thursday’s game against the Rockets and was replaced by Marcus Smart. He has since been ruled out with left calf soreness.

Some DraftKings Sportsbook bettors may wonder whether the new Early Exit program is in effect.

Since Reaves left during the first half due to injury and did not return, Early Exit does apply in this case. Single pre-game and live prop bets on his lines will settle as a loss but be refunded via cash credits within 24 hours of the game’s conclusion. Parlays involving Reaves’ lines will remain open with recalculated odds after affected legs are voided.

Reaves played 15 minutes on Thursday and contributed 12 points, one rebound and one assist.
