RPGRebounds Per Game
RPG is total rebounds divided by games played — combining offensive and defensive boards into a single per-game number.
Formula
RPG = (OREB + DREB) / games playedExample
A center with 22 OREB + 78 DREB across 10 games: 100 / 10 = 10.0 RPG.
Why it matters
Rebounding controls possessions — every defensive rebound stops the other team’s second chance, every offensive rebound creates yours.
In depth
Rebounds Per Game splits naturally into offensive (OREB) and defensive (DREB) rebounds. Bigs and forwards typically dominate this stat, but ball-pursuing guards can post 5–7 RPG in scrappy leagues.
