Slips Pick

The roll man slips the pick prior to the ball handler using him as a screen, then receives the ball.

Spot Up

When the possession-ending event is a catch-and-shoot or catch-and-drive play. Spot-up players typically have a defender closing out on them during a defensive rotation, giving them the option to shoot the ball before the defender gets to them, let the defender fly by and then shoot or drive, or use the defender's forward motion against them and drive to the basket. This situation also occurs during an off-screen play. If there was no screen, the play is logged as a spot-up. Other times, spot-up players simply get open because their defender sagged towards the basket or lost track of them. In this case, the offensive player still has the option to shoot or drive.

• the strength of the opponent
• the venue (home or away)
• the number of rest days taken before the game (i.e. travel schedules)
