Effective field goal percentage

In basketball, effective field goal percentage is a statistic that adjusts field goal percentage to account for the fact that three-point field goals count for three points while field goals only count for two points. It is abbreviated eFG%.

It is calculated by: $eFG\% = \frac{FG + 0.5 * 3P}{FGA}$

where:

FG = field goals made,
3P = 3 point field goals made,
FGA = field goal attempts,
