NBA Referee Profile
Nolan Fine
Nolan Fine has worked 934 NBA games, and the numbers he produces are worth tracking before you bet. Fine calls fouls at a rate 4.4% above league average — 47.1 personal fouls per game — which means he reads contact and whistles it. That's a tight game on the floor, and it pushes pace down while inflating scoring opportunities from the line. His free throw attempt average of 55.3 per game runs 5.3% above league norms, so when Fine is on the crew, build FTA volume into your player prop assumptions. The number that demands the most attention is his home team win rate: 60.3%. The league baseline for home teams winning sits around 55%, meaning Fine's games show a meaningful lean toward the home side. Whether that's crowd sensitivity or something more structural in how he manages game flow doesn't matter — the edge shows up in the results, and that's what bettors price.
