  • A Game Theoretic Approach to Modelling Basketball
    A Game Theoretic Approach to Modelling Basketball Darshan Chakrabarti and Rishav Dutta (darshanc and rishavd) 1 Overview Each of the 30 teams in the NBA play 82 games a season (and then top teams participate in the playoffs which progress towards the championship). Typically, coaches and other team personnel analyze tapes of past games and statistics to try to understand deficiencies that a team has and understand vunerable points of the other team. We want to make suggestions for strategies for teams to adopt that can be backed quantitatively, so that teams can try to achieve the optimal outcome. 2 Problem Statement Given the current game state, what is the optimal strategy for the offensive team and the defensive team to adopt. For example, consider a matchup between the Houston Rockets and the Golden State Warriors with their starting line-ups on the court: James Harden, Chris Paul, Nene, P.J. Tucker, Clint Capela for the Rockets and Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, and DeMarcus Cousins for the Warriors, and James Harden has the ball. What is the optimal strategy for the Rockets? Potential options could be to pass to Chris Paul for a three pointer or Harden could just shoot himself. In order to minimize the potential outcome, the Warriors may choose to assign their best defender to the player most likely to shoot from the Rockets (Klay Thompson on Chris Paul) or they could play aggressive defense on James Harden to prevent him from passing or shooting. Finding the optimal strategy may allow teams to perform better during games.
