This iconic basketball video game became so realistic and is solely based on the real-life players’ performance that it has its own professional esports league, where teams of pro gamers go against each other defending the colours of the replicated NBA teams.

Those who follow the NBA know how much these basketball geeks love playing 2K. Therefore, it becomes more epic to watch them go against each other in a highly competitive environment, settling the «Who is the best 2K player in the NBA?» debate once and for all. The tournament is said to begin on Friday, April 3 and will also air on ESPN. The hype for the event was also stirred up when Ronnie 2K (@Ronnie2K), the developer of the game, insulted DeMarcus Cousins during his Instagram Live steam.

Having said that, we have a lot coming up, and top online bookmakers will definitely help us out with that. One of the leading online betting operators recently opened its markets for the upcoming event. The book is currently offering a first-round bracket spread market, as well as the traditional outright one. Let’s take a look.

Who do you think is going to be the most exciting matchup here? Well, let’s leave it out for a second. The most important question is still is going to win. The book favours the 2-time NBA Finals MVP Kevin Durant to win the event at the odds of 6.00 (5/1). He is tightly followed by Trae Young and DeAndre Ayton, who are priced up at 7.00 (6/1) and 7.50 (13/2) respectively.
