What is PPP (Points Per Possession) in NBA playtypes?

Points Per Possession (PPP) measures scoring efficiency for a specific play type. A PPP of 1.00 means the team scores 1 point per possession on that play type. League-average PPP varies by playtype — spot-up plays average around 1.00 PPP while isolation plays average closer to 0.90. Higher PPP indicates more efficient execution.

The Playtypes tab shows Charlotte Hornets' offensive possessions broken down by play type: isolation, spot-up, transition, pick-and-roll ball handler, pick-and-roll roll man, post-up, handoff, cut, off-screen, and putbacks. Each includes PPP, FG%, turnover frequency, and league percentile ranking.

How do NBA playtypes help with DFS and betting?

Playtype data reveals how a team generates offense. A team that runs heavy pick-and-roll creates value for ball handlers and roll men; a team that relies on transition scoring benefits from high-pace matchups. Matching playtype tendencies with opponent defensive weaknesses is an edge for DFS lineup construction and game total betting.
