what is pra in basketball
In basketball, “PRA” stands for Points, Rebounds, and Assists. It is a statistical combination that tracks a player’s overall contribution to a game in these three key areas:
1. Points (P) – The total number of points a player scores during a game.
2. Rebounds (R) – The total number of rebounds a player grabs, which can be either offensive (rebounding missed shots on the offensive end) or defensive (rebounding missed shots on the defensive end).
3. Assists (A) – The total number of assists a player records, which refers to the number of times they pass the ball to a teammate who scores.
PRA is often used in fantasy basketball and sports betting contexts to evaluate a player’s all-around performance, rather than focusing on just one statistic like points or rebounds alone. It’s a way to measure a player’s overall impact on the game.
