Understanding Points Per Game (PPG)

Points Per Game (PPG) is a measure that indicates how many points a player averages per game over a season or period. It's calculated by dividing the total points scored by the number of games played.

Example Calculation

For example, if a player scores 1,200 points over 60 games, their PPG would be:

1,200 ÷ 60 = 20 points per game

Applications in Basketball Analysis

PPG is one of the most fundamental statistics in basketball analysis. It helps compare players across different seasons and teams. While PPG provides a useful overview, it doesn't account for minutes played, so other advanced metrics like Points Per 36 Minutes should be considered for comprehensive player evaluation.
