How to Calculate Points Per Game?
To calculate Points Per Game, divide your total points scored by the total number of games played. This simple division gives you your average scoring output per game. For example, if you scored 240 points over 20 games, divide 240 by 20 to get 12 points per game.
- Total Points Scored: 250
- Number of Games Played: 10
PPG = 250 / 10 = 25 PPG
Result: The player scores an average of 25 points per game.
- Total Points Scored: 480
- Number of Games Played: 16
PPG = 480 / 16 = 30 PPG
Result: The player scores an average of 30 points per game.
Points Per Game Calculation Formula
Basic PPG Formula:
Points Per Game = Total Points ÷ Number of Games
Where:
Total Points = Sum of all points scored
Number of Games = Total games played
Season Projection Formula:
Projected Season Points = Points Per Game × Total Season Games
Where:
Points Per Game = Current scoring average
Total Season Games = Number of games in full season
Example 1: High School Player
- Total Points = 320
- Games Played = 25
- Calculation = 320 ÷ 25
- Result = 12.8 PPG
Example 2: College Player
- Total Points = 550
- Games Played = 30
- Calculation = 550 ÷ 30
- Result = 18.3 PPG
Example 3: Professional Player
- Total Points = 1640
- Games Played = 82
- Calculation = 1640 ÷ 82
- Result = 20.0 PPG
Example 4: Tournament Performance
- Total Points = 98
- Games Played = 5
- Calculation = 98 ÷ 5
- Result = 19.6 PPG
Example 5: Partial Season
- Total Points = 280
- Games Played = 15
- Calculation = 280 ÷ 15
- Result = 18.7 PPG
