Basketball Points Formula

BP = 2PM*2 + 3PM*3

Variables:

  • BP is the Basketball Points (points)
  • 2PM is the number of two-pointers made
  • 3PM is the number of 3-pointers made

To calculate Basketball Points, multiply the number of two-pointers by by 2, then add the result to the number of 3-pointers made times 3.

How to Calculate Basketball Points?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Basketball Points.

  1. First, determine the number of two-pointers made. 
  2. Next, determine the number of 3-pointers made. 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = BP = 2PM*2 + 3PM*3.
  4. Finally, calculate the Basketball Points.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
