About this API
NBA Stats plan is the other half of SportsDataIO's NBA data stack (paired with Scores). Focuses on deep statistics: per-player season averages (basic stats like points, assists, rebounds) + advanced (PER, TS%, USG%, BPM and other modern analytics metrics) + situational (home/away splits, head-to-head team performance). Fantasy basketball users use this for draft prep (who has upside), sports betting users for prop bet models (is this player's scoring over/under valuable), sports media for stats graphics. Shares the same subscription platform as Scores API — bundle options available.
