Per-game averages each defense allows to opposing PGs. Rank 1 (top row) allows the most for the current sort. Colors run per column: green = allows the most (soft matchup), red = allows the least (tough matchup). REB CH (rebound chances) and POT AST (potential assists) come from NBA.com player tracking.

Defense vs Position is one of the matchup tools inside Propaholics. Unlock our model's odds, edge, and verdict on every NBA player prop, plus player dashboards with hit rates and game logs.
Start your free 7-day trialPick PG and sort the table by the PTS column. The defenses that give up the most points per game to opposing point guards rise to the top. Switch to Last 10 or Last 5 to see which defenses are leaking points right now rather than across the whole season.
Each player gets one of five positions (PG, SG, SF, PF, C) from team depth charts, with backup sources for players who aren't listed. Everything an opposing player at that position scores, rebounds and assists in a game is added up and averaged per game for the defense.
Find tonight's opponent and the player's position. A green number means that defense allows more than most at that position, which favors the over. A red number means a tough matchup. Combine it with the player's minutes and recent form rather than betting the matchup alone.
