Basketball is one of the world’s most popular sports and while it has experienced a steep decline in interest in Australia since the turn of the century, it is fair to say that a steady rise in popularity has commenced following the rejuvenation of the NBL.

NBL betting has quickly etched a position within the online community and punters can take advantage of a wide range of markets, including head-to-head and points options at Neds.

Australian basketball was arguably at its peak throughout the 1990s as players like Andrew Gaze, Luc Longley and Shane Heal blazed the trail both at home and abroad, however a sharp resurgence of an Australian presence in the NBA appears likely to result in another golden era for the Boomers on the international front.

The NBA is easily the world’s foremost domestic basketball competition and boasts the best players, biggest budgets and close to the greatest weekly viewership of any competition in the world. Basketball betting is subsequently extremely popular and offers a wide variety of markets and betting options for punters. The fast pace of the game, its statistic-based nature and the sheer volume of matches has made the NBA extremely popular from a basketball betting perspective.
