Winning the rebound battle is often critical to dictating the pace of a game, but there's much more nuance not only when it comes to offensive vs defensive rebounding but also when it comes to rebound opportunities.
Offensive Rebound Percentage
To calculate ORB%, we divide total offensive rebounds by total offensive rebound opportunities, as shown below:
Dividing by rebound opportunities accounts for situations such as when a team grabs less offensive rebounds simply because they're missing less shots (less available rebounds).
Defensive Rebound Percentage
Calculating DRB% follows a similar formula to ORB%, with defensive rebounds substituted for offensive rebounds.
Total Rebound Percentage
Calculating TRB% also follows a similar formula, with total rebounds substituted instead of offensive or defensive rebounds.
