Points Per Game (PPG) is basketball's most popular and visible stat. It answers a simple question: how much does this player score on average?
It's a volume stat, not an efficiency stat. A player can score 25 PPG by shooting a lot and inefficiently, or by being hyper-efficient on few shots. PPG alone says nothing about context. That's why it's always paired with TS% or FG% for the complete picture.
Historically, the NBA single-season record belongs to Wilt Chamberlain (50.4 PPG in 1961-62). In the modern era, breaking 30 PPG across a full season is a rare feat.
HoopsTrackR computes your PPG in real time, game by game, and shows a trend line so you can see if you're ramping up over the season.
Real example
Across 10 games, a player scored 152 points total. Their PPG is 152 / 10 = 15.2 points per game.
