How NBA blocks actually behave

This page is loading and it needs JavaScript. The written page below is served without it.

Across 478 NBA players with at least 10 logged games in blocks, this page measures 30977 games in total. The median player in that field averages 0.3 blocks. The line closest to a coin flip sits at 0.5 for the median of the 478 players whose distribution supports one. Half the field is more often over it, half more often under. The deepest sample here is Julian Champagnie, with 118 logged games. Of the 42 players whose spread can be measured, 0 cluster tightly around their average, 2 vary moderately and 40 swing widely. 478 of them have at least three games home and away, so the venue gap below is measured rather than assumed. Every figure is counted from official box scores and describes games already played. It is not a projection, and on its own it says nothing about whether any price on offer is worth taking.

Measured as of 2026-11-15, rebuilt daily from official box scores. Window: 2025-10-21 to 2026-11-14. No prices appear on this page.

30,977 logged player-games from 1,509 unique games. A player-game is one player in one game, so a single game counts once for every player it logged.

Where the coin-flip line sits in NBA blocks

Each player's own most balanced threshold: the half-point line he has finished above in closest to half his logged games, measured from his distribution rather than read off a book. Deepest sample first, not best to worst. The 40 deepest samples of 478 measured; the figures above this table are over all 478.

The steadiest NBA blocks records

Standard deviation in the market’s own units, and the same figure as a share of the player’s average so it means the same thing in points as in passing yards. A narrow spread means the average is close to what a typical game actually looked like; it says nothing about what the next one will look like.

Player	Club	Logged games	Average	Standard deviation	Spread as % of average
Aday Mara	Thunder	13	1.8 blocks	1.0	56%

The widest NBA blocks swings

The other end of the same measurement. A wide spread means the average describes the middle of a broad range rather than a typical night, which is worth knowing before reading anything into that average.

The widest home and away gaps in NBA blocks

Both averages are over the games actually played at each venue, and the game count for each is in the cell beside it. A gap measured over a handful of games either way is one you cannot distinguish from noise. This table prints the denominators so you can tell which is which. Three games a side is the floor for appearing here at all.

Darryn Peterson	Jazz	0.4 (7)	1.2 (6)	0.8 away

Ahead of their own baseline over the last five

Last five logged games against the full log, reported only where the gap is more than a tenth of the player’s own average. It is a description of five games that have been played and it is not a forecast of the sixth.

Behind their own baseline over the last five

The same comparison in the other direction, and the same caveat: five games is five games, and a run below a baseline is as often noise as it is a change.

Common questions

Where does the NBA blocks coin-flip line sit?

At the half-point threshold each player has finished above in about half their logged games. It is measured per player from their own distribution rather than read off a sportsbook, which is why it is on this page at all: a posted line moves through the day and this page is rebuilt once, so a number taken from a book would be wrong by morning.

Is this a ranking of the best NBA blocks props?

No. Nothing here is ordered by how good a bet it is, and no price is quoted anywhere on the page. The tables are ordered by sample depth, by spread and by the size of a measured gap, because those are the things a game log can actually establish.

How many games are behind each blocks figure?

The count is printed beside every one of them. A player only appears once they have ten or more logged games in the market, and games they did not play are absent rather than counted as zero, so an average describes games they were actually in.

Does a blocks trend on this page predict the next game?

No. A trend here is a comparison between a player’s last five logged games and their full log, and it is reported only when the gap is large enough to be worth naming. It is a description of what has happened, and history is not a forecast.

What these tables are measuring, explained: how to read a hit rate and what its denominator hides, what an over/under line is and what it is not.
