What is Point Value over Average?

WHAT IS "PVOA"?

PVOA, or "point value over average" is a concept based upon the thinking behind footballoutsiders.com's DVOA, or "defense adjusted value over average". What it tries to capture is how a team performed based upon how the average NBA team would have performed given the same opponent and the same number of possessions.

Here's how its calculated. You take the opponent's established offensive and defensive efficiency numbers for the season (which are pts * poss/100 and pts allowed * poss/100, respectively), you then adjust them for home or away -- because NBA team's perform dramatically different whether they are home or away -- then you calculate the number of possessions in the given game for each team, and finally you multiply. Then you compare those results against the actual number of points scored and points allowed for the team you are evaluating.
