Choosing the optimal offense strategies is an important aspect that has a great impact on the competitive performance of a basketball team. In this regard, the coach needs, firstly, to have a strategic plan for the season depending on the profile of each player, and secondly, to be able to make changes in it promptly, based on the current performance of the game activity as his own team. This article attempts to identify a set of most and least preferred technical actions on offense for each combination of playing threes in a 3x3 basketball team. For this purpose, an approach from game theory was used, which is based on determining the pay-off functions of each basketball player.
