    Handicapping Help
    I am building a model to predict the outcome of an NBA game essentially by simulating each individual possession.

    Is there a statistic that can tell you how many possessions ended with free throw shots and not a field goal attempt, maybe I can use some set theory?

    Thanks for all the help.
    It really helps me to verbalize my thoughts.

        Thanks, yeah I suppose that works.
        I know this number is minuscule and may not even matter in the long run.

          Why?
          Everything I read says simulating each possession will lead to a more accurate predication, essentially I am trying to break the game down into finer and finer pieces rather then just look at final points scored.
