NBA Referee Profile
Luis Grillo
Luis Grillo has worked 1,134 NBA games, and his numbers tell a clear story for anyone with money on the line. He calls fouls at 2.9% above league average — 46.1 personal fouls per game — which means he reads tight and whistles early. That translates directly to free throw volume: 53.3 FTA per game, running 2.5% above the league norm. When Grillo is on the floor, foul-dependent offenses get to the line, totals get inflated by extra possessions, and physical teams pay a price. The number that demands the most attention is his home team win rate of 59.1%. The league baseline hovers around 55%, and Grillo runs nearly four points hotter than that. That is not noise — that is a documented lean toward the home side that bettors should price into any spread or moneyline when his name appears on the officiating report.
