Fantasy Basketball Daily Boxscore Review (11/4/09)
Nov 4, 2009 Blog
I am making a couple of changes in the stats today. The stats service I use computes possessions using the .44 free throw multiplier, so I will be moving to that calculation method. I have always used the .4 multiplier, but the stats service is quicker than doing the stats by hand. Also, the free throw rate computation will use free throws attempted to give a more accurate reflection of a team’s ability to get to the line. I had been using free throws made but that stat was not reflecting a teams true ability to get to the line. Use the FTA/FGA stat and then qualify it with the actual free throw percentage to get a much clearer picture of the free throw effectiveness.

ATL Fantasy Notes: Jamal Crawford came up big and was the fantasy stud for ATL in this one, 27pt/7ast on 8-16 shooting….Bibby 7pt/4reb/5ast.
