Methodology & Data Sources

Last updated

Every head-to-head page on SharkBetting is built from verified historical data, not generated prose. Regular-season and playoff game logs are pulled from the balldontlie API (public NBA records from 1946 onward). Playoff series results, arena capacity, and historical context are cross-checked against basketball-reference.com. Player-level top-scorer tables and largest-lead figures use the play-by-play dataset, which has complete coverage only from the 1996-97 season onward; matchups on the page that pre-date 1996 are clearly marked.

Stats are refreshed after every completed game day. If you spot an error, head to our contact page with the game date and we will verify against the source feeds.

Pre-1996 game scores partially derived from the nbadb dataset by Wyatt Walsh, distributed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
