frontcourts
Near-basket playing areas
Frontcourts is the plural of frontcourt, a basketball term for the offensive half of the court—the end where a team's basket is located.
By extension, frontcourt refers to the players who typically operate there: centers and forwards, as opposed to the guards who make up the backcourt.
The Lakers' frontcourt dominated the boards tonight.
Sportswriters use the term to discuss team composition and matchups.
