Calculation steps

    How to calculate

    Estimate possessions for each box score, average them and express scoring per 100 common estimated possessions.

    Poss≈FGA−ORB+TO+0.44FTA; ORtg=100×team points/average estimated possessions

    Worked example

    The default team estimates 90.8 possessions and opponent 91.92; their common average is 91.36. Team 100 points gives offensive rating about 109.4571 points per 100 estimated possessions.

    Assumptions and input details

    Use matched team/opponent totals on the same reporting basis. This is the simple box-score estimate with factor 0.44, not an official play-by-play possession count. Pace is normalized to your entered regulation minutes and elapsed game length must be at least that length. No individual-player usage/efficiency, opponent adjustment, prediction or league-specific official rating is supplied.
