Where these numbers come from: Per-game averages from the league’s own season statistics, not recomputed here. Only qualified players are listed: the league requires 58 appearances over an 82-game season, and that fraction is scaled to how far this season has run. At 10–13 club games played that is 8–10 appearances.

METHOD

How these leaders are decided

Every figure is a per-game average from the league’s own season statistics. Where the feed publishes an average it is used directly; where it publishes only a season total, the total is divided by that player’s games played. Nothing here is estimated or projected.

The league qualifies its per-game titles at 58 appearances in an 82-game season. Applied flat that would empty every board until February, so the same fraction is scaled to the games a club has actually played — which converges on the published rule by game 82 rather than approximating it. The threshold is computed per club, because schedules differ by a game or two at any moment.

All 30 clubs are included — a leaderboard assembled from some of the league reads as the league's and is not one, so the boards do not publish at all unless every club's statistics can be read.

FAQ

Questions

Who leads the NBA in assists in 2026-27?
Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets leads the NBA at 9.0 assists a game.
How many games does a player need to qualify?
The league's rule is 58 appearances in an 82-game season. In season that fraction is scaled to the games a player's club has played, so the bar rises as the year goes on and lands exactly on 58 at the end of it.
Are these NBA leaders official?
They are the league’s own published season statistics, sorted and filtered by the league’s own qualification rule. Nothing on this page is a Kalshi estimate or a market price.
