Understanding Offensive Possessions

Offensive possessions are a way to measure the number of opportunities a team has to score points. The formula used in this calculator is based on the standard NBA methodology:

Offensive Possessions = (Field Goal Attempts + Free Throw Attempts) + Turnovers

This formula accounts for all actions that create a new opportunity to score, including field goal attempts, free throw attempts, and turnovers. Understanding offensive possessions helps in analyzing team efficiency and performance.

Example

For instance, if a team has 20 Field Goal Attempts (FGA), 10 Field Goals Made (FG), 15 Free Throw Attempts (FTA), 12 Free Throws Made (FT), and 5 Turnovers (TOV), the calculation would be:

Offensive Possessions = (20 + 15) + 5 = 40
