An analysis of the hot hand phenomenon in basketball and mid-range shooting

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: This study analyzes this question using a novel data set of all shots from the 2023-2024 combined with data on teams and players. The study aimed to empirically analyze whether the hot hand exists in the NBA for mid-range shots. The analysis focused on NBA single-game leaders and records for points during the 2023-2024 regular season, as these NBA players were more likely to make consecutive shots. In Table 1, the paper shows that Luka Doncic and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had negative coefficients for lastShot and lastFive.
• Who: Hot Hand . . .
