POSS (Possessions)
What is “POSS”?
How to understand “POSS” in basketball?
What is the formula to calculate “Possessions”?
POSS (Possessions) is the number of possessions – a sequence by the offense ending in a made field goal, made free throw, turnover, or defensive rebound – played by a team. Note: an offensive rebound does not create a new possession, it simply extends the current possession. It’s available in the NBA since the 1973-74 season.
The formula for teams is 0.5 * ((Tm FGA + 0.4 * Tm FTA – 1.07 * (Tm ORB / (Tm ORB + Opp DRB)) * (Tm FGA – Tm FG) + Tm TOV) + (Opp FGA + 0.4 * Opp FTA – 1.07 * (Opp ORB / (Opp ORB + Tm DRB)) * (Opp FGA – Opp FG) + Opp TOV)).
This formula estimates possessions based on both the team’s statistics and their opponent’s statistics, then averages them to provide a more stable estimate.
