Points off Assists (PoA)

How many total points were scored after assists. As there are 2-pt and 3-pt field goals, for example, 5 assists might lead to 10 points (5 2-pt FG), but they can lead to 15 points as well (5 3-pt FG)

Changelog

July 2024

Before July 2014, PoA were counted differently depending on the competition. e.g. in NCAA/NBA points scored from Free Throws following a Fouled Shot did not contribute towards total PoA stats but in FIBA these points scored from Free Throws did contribute towards PoA.

After July 2024, all stats will be calculated using the North American standard where points scored from Free Throws following a Fouled Shot do not contribute towards PoA. This will make it easier to compare teams and players when scouting across different competitions around the world.

Note, Instat Reports and API products remain unchanged and will continue to use legacy calculations, so you may see some differences compared to the web platform.
