Data Model

Games link to teams and players. Statistics aggregate by season/game with multiple category breakdowns (general, clutch, shooting, playtype, tracking, hustle). Contract data spans multiple seasons with guarantee details. Play-by-play provides chronological game events.

Key Considerations

Lineup data only available for NBA games from 2025 season onward and once games begin. Player prop betting data is live and frequently updated. Use appropriate date ranges and pagination for large datasets. Some advanced statistics require specific season parameters.
