NBA Referee Profile

Matt Boland

1210 career games

Matt Boland has logged 1,210 career games officiated, making him one of the more seasoned officials working in the league today. His personal foul rate sits at 41.7 per game, running 1.0% above league average — Boland reads contact and calls it, so expect a slightly tighter whistle when he's on the floor. His free throw attempt average of 47.4 per game tracks exactly with league norms, a 0.0% deviation, meaning the foul calls he makes translate to the line at a standard rate — no unusual disparity between the whistle and the stripe. The number bettors should lock in on: Boland's home teams win 56.9% of the time under his watch. The league baseline for home-court advantage typically hovers around 59-60%, which puts Boland slightly below that mark — road teams cover against him at a rate worth tracking. He's not a game-changer, but he's consistent, and consistency is exactly what sharp bettors price in.
