Averages per game are denoted by *PG (PPG, RPG, APG, SPG etc). Sometime the players statistics are divided by minutes played and multiplied by 48 minutes (had he played the entire game), denoted by * per 48 min..

A player who makes two double digit statistics on two categories in a game is said to make a double double, and in three categories a triple double. A quadruple double is extremely rare.

In fantasy basketball, statistics are used in a formula as a score of a player's performance.
