Frequently Asked Questions
- 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.
- What are Phoenix Suns's most common play types?
- The Playtypes tab shows Phoenix Suns's 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.
