NBA Referee Profile
Marc Davis
Marc Davis has worked 1,709 NBA games, making him one of the more seasoned officials on the floor. His numbers tell a consistent story: he lets play run. Davis averages 40.6 personal fouls per game, sitting 2.4% below the league average, and his free throw attempt rate follows the same pattern at 47 attempts per game, running 1.1% under league norms. When Davis is on the whistle, expect fewer stoppages and fewer trips to the line — that profile tends to compress totals and punish teams whose offensive systems depend on drawing contact. His home team win rate lands at 57.3%, which runs above the typical baseline. That number isn't noise across a 1,709-game sample. Davis games lean toward the home side at a rate bettors should account for, particularly in close matchups where officiating tilt can shift a spread. Track his assignments on home favorites in tight lines.
