Methodology & Data Sources

Last updated

Every head-to-head record on SharkBetting is computed from scored game logs. Regular-season and playoff results come from the balldontlie API and historical records cross-checked against basketball-reference.com. All-time records, recent form, postseason splits, margins, streaks, decades, and seasons are calculated from the same listed results. Records without a final score are excluded from decided-game statistics.

Stats are refreshed after completed game days when new source data is available. Each page's Last updated date shows when its underlying data was actually synced. 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.
