The average NBA team is worth approximately $509 million, representing a 30 percent increase over last year.

The increase is due to higher revenue from television, new and renovated arenas, and the NBA’s new collective-bargaining agreement, which reduced player costs from 57% of revenues to roughly 50%.

The New York Knicks are the NBA's most valuable franchise, worth approximately $1.1 billion. The Knicks' value rose 41 percent due to a $980 million renovation of Madison Square Garden.

The Los Angeles Lakers were the NBA's most valuable franchise last season.

The Chicago Bulls rank third at $800 million, followed by the Boston Celtics, Dallas Mavericks, Miami Heat, Houston Rockets, Golden State Warriors, Brooklyn Nets and San Antonio Spurs.
