NBA Referee Profile
Kane Fitzgerald
Kane Fitzgerald has worked 779 NBA games and his numbers tell a consistent story for anyone paying attention. His career average of 41.3 personal fouls per game runs 2.0% above league average, and his 46.9 free throw attempts per game sits at the same 2.0% premium. Fitzgerald reads a tight game — he calls the contact, he sends players to the line, and totals bettors should factor that in when he is on the assignment. More free throws mean more clock stoppages, more variance in scoring pace, and a slightly inflated final score environment relative to a crew that lets play run. The number that demands the most attention is his home team win rate of 61.2%. The league baseline hovers around 58%, so Fitzgerald's home teams are covering that cushion and then some. If you are laying points with a road favorite, knowing Fitzgerald is officiating is relevant information, not a footnote.
