NBA teams shoot 55% for 2-pointers so for every 10 they get 11 points. They shoot 36% for 3-pointers so for every 10 they get 10.8 points. It all comes down to individual team and player accuracy.
Want to add more excitement to the NBA? Dunks are only worth one point from now on. You can be as fancy as you like, it’s still just one point. Might make some of the big guys concentrate on their free-throw percentage too, since those would be worth the same.

Sports math is important.

So, teams would never take a two-point shot. Three-point total divided by zero equals infinity.

You’re assuming they can do math.

Final score would be zero if no shots were attempted.

They have accountants for math.
