NBA Referee Profile
George Toliver
George Toliver has worked 731 NBA games and his numbers carry a clear message for bettors: he reads a tight game. His career average of 46 personal fouls per game runs 1.8% above league average, and his 54 free throw attempts per game sits 2.3% above the norm. Those two figures move together, meaning Toliver's whistle generates real volume at the line — not just foul calls that go nowhere. Teams that attack the paint and draw contact should see that work rewarded when Toliver is on the floor. The number that demands the most attention, however, is his home team win rate of 64.7%. The league baseline for home-court advantage runs well below that mark, which means home teams cover at a significantly elevated clip under Toliver. When he is assigned, the home side is not just favored — it is statistically more favored than the oddsmakers typically price in.
