METHOD
How this is counted
Every NBA game is worked by a crew of three referees, listed on the official box score. This page counts, for each referee, the games they appear on — regular season and postseason separately.
Home win % is the share of those games the home team won, and points per game is the two teams' combined score. Across every game here the home team won .555 and the teams combined for 230.2 points. A referee's figure differing from those says more about which games they were assigned than about how they call them, so read it as context, not as a rating.
The log covers 1,322 of 1,322 completed games. A few games whose box score never listed a crew are left out rather than guessed at.
FAQ
Questions
Which NBA referee has worked the most games in 2025-26?
Josh Tiven, with 78 games (64 regular season, 14 postseason).
How many referees work an NBA game?
Three: a crew chief, a referee and an umpire, plus a replay center that reviews calls remotely.
