Work out basketball points per game instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Points per game divides by games played, while the per-36 rate divides by minutes and rescales, which is the standard way to compare a starter with a bench player. Per-36 figures strip out playing time, so a reserve scoring 12 a game in 18 minutes is revealed as a higher-rate scorer than a starter on 16 in 34.
