NBA Referee Profile
Jim Clark
Jim Clark has worked 1,330 NBA games, and the numbers he produces carry a clear signature bettors should track. His personal foul rate sits 0.9% above league average at 45.3 per game, meaning Clark reads contact and calls it — this is not a ref who lets borderline stuff slide. That whistle-friendly tendency feeds directly into his free throw rate, which runs 2.1% above league average at 53.3 attempts per game. When Clark is on the sheet, expect more stoppages, more trips to the line, and game flow that favors teams built around drawing fouls. The over becomes more relevant before you even check the total. His home team win rate of 59.2% is the other number that matters. League-wide home teams win roughly 59% of games historically, so Clark tracks right at that baseline — no meaningful lean toward or against the home side. He does not suppress or inflate home-court advantage. Price him accordingly.
