NBA Referee Profile
Scott Twardoski
Scott Twardoski has worked 817 NBA games and his foul numbers tell a clear story. At 40.1 personal fouls per game, he sits 0.8% above league average — he reads contact and calls it, which means he is not a ref who lets players play through physicality. Free throw attempts follow the same pattern at 45.5 per game, running 0.4% above the league mean. Both numbers point in the same direction: teams that get to the line and draw fouls thrive under Twardoski, while physical defense becomes a liability. The number that demands the most attention from a betting standpoint is his home team win rate of 59.5%. The league baseline for home winning sits around 58%, so Twardoski tracks slightly above that already-favorable mark for hosts. Back the home side with confidence when he is assigned — the data supports leaning into home-court advantage rather than fading it.
