What is Points per game (PPG)?
Points per game is the average number of points a player or team scores each game, found by dividing total points by games played.
Formula
PPG = total points ÷ games played
Example
A player who scores 96 points in 8 games averages 96 ÷ 8 = 12.0 points per game.
Why it matters in a league
PPG is the first number leagues use to rank scorers. Because players miss games, many leagues require a minimum number of games before someone qualifies for the scoring title.
